NEEA’s Regional Portfolio Advisory Committee’s (“Committee” or “RPAC”) purpose is to support the alliance in achieving its Purpose and Mission by advising on the optimal composition of NEEA’s program portfolio, including a formal vote for program advancement at three key points in the Initiative Lifecycle, consistent with the goals and objectives of NEEA’s then-current Business Plan and annual Operations Plan.

RPAC is a leadership advisory committee with a formal voting function that is used to advise NEEA’s Executive Director on portfolio management. As such, RPAC Members have significant influence on alliance work and are expected to be sufficiently resourced to perform this function. This includes working within Committee Member organizations to assure that the expertise needed to inform alliance work is represented on supporting advisory committees and work groups (i.e. right people, right topic, right time).
