Bio Pages for GCDAMP Stakeholders and their Representatives

AMWG Members and Alternates

Members will be appointed to the AMWG by the Secretary, with input and recommendations from the above-referenced agencies, States, tribes, contractors for Federal power from Glen Canyon Dam, environmental organizations, and other stakeholders. Each member may also recommend an alternate member for appointment by the Secretary. Members and alternates of the AMWG will be appointed for a 3-year term [1]

• Adaptive Management Work Group Member Nomination Process

TWG Members and Alternates

Members. The TWG membership shall consist of one representative from each member of the AMWG. Each TWG member shall be nominated by its AMWG member, and approved or rejected by the Secretary’s Designee. There will be no term limitations as long as the organization is a member of the AMWG. A list of TWG members and alternates will be maintained by Reclamation and posted on the Reclamation GCDAMP website. Each TWG member should have a technical background to sufficiently represent its stakeholder organization, to adequately evaluate scientific proposals and make technical recommendations to the AMWG. TWG members are expected to participate fully to the extent of their abilities and time allows. This includes participation in ad hoc groups, participating in discussions at the TWG, and working to reach consensus with other TWG members. [2]

Alternate Members (Alternates). A TWG Alternate shall be nominated by each AMWG member, or organization, and approved or rejected by the Secretary’s Designee. There will be no term limitations as long as the organization is a member of the AMWG. Alternates can fully participate in any TWG ad hoc group meeting, but only one vote is provided for each TWG organization within the ad hoc. The officially designated Alternate, in the absence of the Member, is allowed to fully participate and vote in TWG meetings without prior notification and will be counted in the quorum. [3]
