SNEP Program Partners

Organization of SNEP Committees and Subcommittees

EPA-SNEP has designated several committees with broad representation from local and tribal government, state and federal government, academia, and nonprofit organizations. SNEP is fortunate to have the input of these regional experts to inform its policy, science, and funding decisions. Each committee and subcommittee member plays a key role in SNEP by bringing the expertise, experience, and perspective of various governmental and nongovernmental organizations throughout the region.


Policy Committee 

The SNEP Policy Committee convenes several times each year and includes Steering Committee representatives with key planning and program management significance. The Committee provides regional perspectives on how best to implement SNEP’s vision and goals; considers program priorities and decision making, policy issues, opportunities for action, regional solutions, leveraging of resources, and promising technologies and approaches; and suggests annual program and budget priority to Steering Committee. Additionally, the Policy Committee proposes options to support subcommittee recommendations.
