        Composition of the Managers Committee<\/h2>\n

        Every CESU is required to organize a Managers Committee to provide general advice and guidance and to assist in its evaluation from the viewpoint of the federal agency members.\u00a0 In the PNW-CESU proposal submitted by the Host University and its partners, it was stated that the federal agency members of the Executive Committee should also serve as members of the Managers Committee.\u00a0 The proposal is silent on any additional participation in the Managers Committee.<\/p>\n

        Federal agency members of the Executive Committee will also service as members of the Managers Committee.\u00a0 Each federal agency member will also have the option of inviting one additional representative from that agency to the Managers Committee meetings, which will be held annually, immediately following the Executive Committee meeting.<\/p>\n

        Expected Level of Agency\/Partner Participation<\/h2>\n

        Each agency and partner member will identify a broker.\u00a0 The broker may be the same individual serving as the member representative on the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n

        Each agency and partner member must demonstrate long-term commitment to the PNW-CESU.<\/p>\n

        Each agency and partner member must provide timely response (within 2 weeks) to PNW-CESU administrative communications.<\/p>\n

        Each agency and partner member must participate in meetings.\u00a0 If Executive Committee member cannot attend a meeting, an appropriate representative must be designated to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
