Sub-Committee Projects & Issues

Currently there are several projects and high-priority issues that are being reviewed or investigated through sub-committees of the CCCApply Steering Committee.

Sub-committee projects are approved by the Steering Committee, however the project objectives, goals, agendas and meeting schedules are determined by the sub-committee members themselves. Below is a list of the issues that are currently being reviewed. Sub-committees will report up to the Steering body during bi-monthly meetings.
