WHIP's Steering Committee is made up of representatives from our formal MOU partners. When groups join as partners, they are invited to send an individual to participate on our Steering Committee. Members attend bimonthly meetings, give input into discussions, and vote in WHIP decision-making. Steering Committee members typically stay involved for a number of years and bring a wide variety of experience to the table. We are proud to have foresters, biologists, landowners, administrators, teachers and volunteers on our committee!
