Inside MNRG: Committees
The MNRG has three permanent committees: Regional Principals, Planning, and
Communications. The Regional Principals committee is made up of agency senior
executives, e.g., regional directors, regional administrators, and district
or division commanders. The Planning and Communications Committees are made
up of selected agency representatives. The Chair of the Planning Committee
typically is a person from the current lead agency while the Chair of the Communications
Committee is appointed by the MNRG's Vice-Chair. Please refer to the Operations
Guide for more information on these various
positions.
