When? The IEC Technical Advisory Committee held its kickoff meeting in March 2016. One to two meetings per year.
Why? IEC is focused on building and strengthening partnerships. An active and engaged TAC will solidify IEC’s effectiveness in the Tri-State area. The TAC will enhance the exchange of information among researchers and other technical experts and managers, provide valued guidance to staff, and identify priority needs. The TAC helps make sure we are providing important contributions to the Tri-State area; tells us where we are needed, what is needed, and how best to get it done.
In support of the TAC, IEC District will draw upon the region’s considerable expertise, forge new partnerships, and pursue new sources of funding to support needed work.
