CenSARA promotes the exchange of information between our states and other interested parties related to the control of air pollution. These actions are to be accomplished within the scope of the air quality statutes and regulations. We are chartered to act as a forum to discuss air quality issues of common concern to the central states and to help identify options that can effectively resolve these issues; to recommend courses of action to our members; to adopt resolutions or policy statements for consideration and implementation by the membership or for their usage during the development of local, state and federal programs, regulations and laws. We are to advance the interests and stature of the association; to develop activities that will serve as an effective forum for the sharing of ideas and information on State and Local program issues and to coordinate policy and technical issues with the membership, the US Environmental Protection Agency as well as other Agencies on the State and Federal level and interested parties.
