AZSITE Ad Hoc Advisory Committee

On August 5th, 2020, the AZSITE Board appointed an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee to serve in the Council's place until the Council becomes active and its seats are filled.

The Committee’s purpose is to advise the Board on matters of concern to AZSITE users and to assist as requested with improvement and development of the AZSITE platform. The Committee includes representatives of state and federal agencies, tribes, local governments, academia or non-profit institutions, private consulting firms, and the public interest (e.g., utilities, mining companies, developers, ranchers) to ensure diversity of input. Committee positions are filled for two-year terms. The Committee meets on roughly a quarterly basis.

The Ad Hoc Advisory Committee is currently comprised of:

  • Utilities Representative - Dan Garcia (SRP)
