Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee provides direct and continuous liaison among the Policy Committee, the Technical Committees and the management of the NETC. Each member state of the Policy Committee appoints one person to the Advisory Committee plus Ex-officio membership by FHWA. Each University appoints one person to the Advisory Committee as a technical resource. The appointee has no voting rights on the Advisory Committee. The University's role is to provide advice and counsel on the worthiness of the needs perceived by the participating states. The Advisory Committee recommends to the Policy Committee a state whose personnel shall function as Lead State for the NETC. The Lead State provides needed management functions and activities for the NETC. In general, the Lead State shall be the state from which the Coordinator is selected. The Advisory Committee selects a Chairperson by majority vote. The Lead State's designee is the Secretary of the Advisory Committee.
