Each member-district can appoint an SRAE Steering Committee Member which is the  Point Person for that district. 

The Steering Committee members provide direction to the consortium and collectively make up the decision-making body. These members also operationalize the SRAE plan at their respective local district sites and provide member-district perspective during consortium activities. 

Current SRAE Steering Committee Members are listed on the SRAE website.

The consortium is governed by the SRAE Steering Committee. Each member-district has one vote. A majority of members present can pass an action item provided a quorum is reached. In compliance with the Brown Act, Board actions occur at open, public, and noticed meetings. The SRAE Steering Committee follows the SRAE Consortium bylaws. A copy of the bylaws can be found on the SRAE website.

SRAE Consortium Meetings are open to the public. The Steering Committee meets on the second Friday of each month. Meeting agendas and minutes can be found on the SRAE website.
