Air and Climate Public Advisory Committee (ACPAC) - Description

The Air and Climate Public Advisory Committee (ACPAC) (formerly known as the Air Quality Public Advisory Committee or AQPAC), established in 1993, is the public advisory committee to the Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee (MWAQC) and the Climate, Energy, and Environment Policy Committee (CEEPC). ACPAC advises MWAQC in its public education and outreach efforts, as well as providing input into the air quality planning process. ACPAC's membership includes organizations chosen by MWAQC to represent communities across the Metropolitan Washington region.

Though voting members are chosen by MWAQC, meetings are open to any interested member of the public. Read the ACPAC bylaws and meeting procedures. All meetings are held at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, Washington, DC. on Monday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. To submit comments to ACPAC, e-mail AQPACPublicComment@mwcog.org.

ACPAC has several membership openings to represent the residents of rural Virginia, urban Virginia, rural Maryland, and the District of Columbia, as well as openings to represent a business/industry and an environmental/health organization. If you're interested in local air quality and climate issues and want to have a voice in the local policy process, we would be interested in hearing from you. If you would like to apply, please contact Joan Rohlfs. You may also view the membership description and application.
