Executive Committee Meetings
The TCMC Executive Committee is comprised of one elected official from each of the four Jurisdiction Parties. The Executive Committee meets quarterly to share information on local climate mitigation activity, review progress toward achieving emissions targets, and build partnerships to support implementation of the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan (TCMP). The Executive Committee identifies regional initiatives for consideration by the Jurisdictions and makes recommendations to the Jurisdictions on amendments to the TCMP.
Meeting materials will be posted on this page prior to each meeting.
* See the Public Notice and Agenda for online and in-person attendance options. Executive Committee meetings are open to the public and an opportunity for public comment is provided at each meeting.
