Committees provide operational service to the EPAP. Whereas Subcommittees provide issue-related forums for developing strategies for implementing Action Plan items. Committees and subcommittees:
- Are established by consensus of the EPAP;
- Must include at least one member with a signed Participation Agreement on file;
- Strive for sustainability by establishing a culture that is equally invested in Relationships, Process, and Results;
- Are encouraged to embrace a co-chair model that consciously brings together individuals with strength developing relationships, processes, and results.
Committee and Subcommittee meetings are open to the public and are posted to the EPAP calendar. Healthy food and child care, and disability, cultural, language or other accommodation can be provided by contacting JR Lilly at JR.Lilly2@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-8027.
New members, and proposals for new representatives and committees, are always welcome! To become an EPAP Representative, or to establish an EPAP Committee, you must attend at least two general EPAP meetings, sign a Participant Agreement, and request time on a general meeting agenda.
