Steering Committee
The MFRC elected a Steering Committee to which it delegated day-to-day operational and executive functions, as well as strategic planning, fundraising and outreach. In turn, the Steering Committee appoints co-chairs, who also act as co-chairs of the MFRC. The duties of the Steering Committee are to:
- Set the agenda for MFRC meetings
- Guide the development of new committees
- Ensure the work of the MFRC and committees is being conducted within the spirit and intent of the Principles
- Propose an annual budget to the MFRC
- Authorize the expenditure of funds based on approved budget
- Selects and approves staff, contractors and facilitators
- Recruit membership for the Forest Restoration Committees and the MFRC
- Ensure a balance of interests is maintained on the Steering Committee, MFRC, and the Forest Restoration Committees
- Pursue funding sources to accomplish budget requirements
