Leadership of E-Enterprise for the Environment
E-Enterprise represents a major expansion of the range of topics around which EPA and its partners seek to collaborate and co-manage through joint governance. Joint governance provides a new, unique venue hosting a new level of collective conversation, negotiation and direction setting focused on strengthening a national enterprise of environmental protection. If the system is working, efforts in this venue will support transformative reforms, and over time these conversations and the projects they support will contribute to a culture change from business as usual to “business as unusual.”
Joint Governance and Management of E-Enterprise
E-Enterprise joint governance is led by the E-Enterprise Leadership Council (EELC). The EELC is composed of ten EPA Senior Executives (i.e., Deputy Administrator, Assistant and Regional Administrators or their Deputies) and ten State Commissioners (or other high-level state officials) and ten tribal representatives. Currently tribes are in the process of choosing representatives to the EELC. The EELC sets strategic direction for E-Enterprise for the Environment. The Management Board (MB) reports to the EELC, overseeing project management and addressing issues as tasked by EELC. The Interoperability and Operations Team reports to MB and supports the design of all technical aspects of E-Enterprise.
- setting strategic direction for E-Enterprise for the Environment
- addressing policy issues impeding E-Enterprise project implementation,
- ensuring inclusion of all relevant stakeholder perspectives, and
- taking other actions as deemed necessary to achieve the vision of E-Enterprise
