The Early Action Compact Task Force
(EACTF) is composed of key staff from governmental and
quasi-governmental agencies, such as the Lower Colorado River Authority,
throughout the MSA. The EAC Task Force coordinates stakeholder input
from the stakeholder committees, reviews emission reduction measures and
reports on CAAP issues to the CAC. The Co-Chairs of this task force are
Bill Gill
of Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) and
Cathy Stephens of Capital Area
Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). The EACTF consists of
approximately 30 members and meets monthly.
NOTICE: At our February
meeting we agreed to change our standing EACTF meeting to the
second Thursday of each month, so please mark your calendars
accordingly. This relieves the conflict with a standing TCAWG
meeting. So, in future, we’ll meet the second Thursday, but not
this month.
