WRAP Technical Steering Committee

The TSC oversees WRAP technical projects and work groups, and collaborates with WESTAR work groups and committees to offer necessary support. The TSC acts as a liaison to the WRAP Board, reporting on TSC and Work Group activities.

Work Plan Scope

The TSC holds the lead responsibility for the annual WRAP Workplan. The TSC manages TSC activities and provides oversight to WRAP Work Groups and activities. The TSC provides this oversight by organizing, directing, and coordinating WRAP Work Groups and their respective project activities. The TSC Co-Chairs act as liaisons between the WRAP Board and the TSC, reporting TSC and Work Group activities to the Board and conveying Board direction back to the TSC and Work Group Co-Chairs. Work Group Co-Chairs lead and execute the activities associated with the individual Work Groups.

The TSC will focus on overseeing work groups, committees, projects, and tasks. This oversight involves reviewing and directing the efforts of WRAP Work Groups and staff through routine status reports, the annual workplan and budget, and periodic interaction with contractors. The TSC will meet regularly with Work Group Co-Chairs. The TSC will coordinate and provide oversight for activities conducted under grants, cooperative agreements, and other projects authorized by the Board. Additionally, the TSC will coordinate with WESTAR work groups and committees to ensure WRAP activities provide needed support.
