General Guidance for Committee Co-Chairs
Committee work should further the Coalition’s Mission to increase the number of net-zero energy buildings in the National Capital Region according to its guiding principles and values. Committee Co-chairs embody, represent and communicate committee work, recommendations, needs, and share suggestions with the the Leadership Group. They are responsible for hosting regular meetings, moving work forward, inviting volunteer action from fellow committee members as needed, and identify and recognize committee members.
