Management Advisory Team (MAT)
The Management Advisory Team (MAT) helps ensure a strong linkage between implementation of the Fire Program Analysis (FPA) program and the field, and provide business process advice. The Team should be self directed and strive for consensus. In the event that consensus cannot be reached, issues should be conveyed to the Oversight Group. The Team will have a designated Chair person, the Chair will represent the Advisory Team on the Oversight Group. The Team may designate members to serve as liaisons to other groups such as the Interagency Analysis and Interagency Science teams, or Geographic Area group.
The Team may include up to eight members with similar membership between the DOI and USFS and may include a representative from a cooperating entity such as an advisor, or as a member. A key focus of the Team is to represent line officers, it may also be inclusive of other members such as fire management leadership. The Team’s key roles are to offer input relative to issues or concerns regarding the program’s implementation and to share information.
