ITEP has established a national tribal steering committee in order to assist with the work of the Tribal Waste and Response Assistance Program (TWRAP) and to ensure that tribal needs and priorities are addressed by this program's activities. Applicants to the steering committee went through a competitive selection process. The nine successful candidates were chosen based upon their experience and their geographical representation.
Steering committee members meet four times a year to discuss program activities, assist with the development and delivery of training courses and a national tribal conference, provide feedback and assistance with program research activities, and to provide ITEP with up-to-date tribal perspectives on waste and response issues.
The current members of this steering committee are:

Back row: Tom McClure, Rob Roy, Katie Kruse, Peter Reuben, and Dino Chavarria
