As part of a collaborative initiative, Advisory Committee members serve as representatives of the rest of the ClimateWise partners in one of four subcommittees. Partners must have been a part of the ClimateWise program for at least one year and reached a level before sitting on a subcommittee.  If you are interested in joining, please contact Deb Harris ( | 224.6121).
