The Cascadia CoPes Hub is supported by 2 external advisory boards- an External Advisory Committee (EAC) and a Community Advisory Council (CAC). The EAC provides project oversight and advice to help ensure that long-range Hub goals and objectives are met. The CAC provides community guidance and expert advice on project implementation from a range of local and regional perspectives.
