Scientists and Engineers
Our Science and Engineering Board was made up of experts with national and international experience. This group provided independent review of plan elements and recommended ways that we can improve our work. The Science and Engineering Board participated in five multi-day meetings, as well as 13 webinars. Individual board members worked intensively with the planning team on focused elements of the plan, providing guidance at every juncture of the process.
