The Environmental Action Group is led by a steering committee (SC) that was established in the fall of 2010. The SC is responsible for organizing EAG campaigns, planning events, and running general meetings. The SC strives to be non-hierarchical with each member having equal work and power. Each member must fill a role ranging from applying for funds to spearheading an EAG campaign. The SC also strives to be inclusive by being transparent and open to all EAG members.
Any active member of the EAG may join the Steering Committee. Membership to the steering committee is by nomination from an existing steering committee member or by self-nomination, as capacity allows. Any member can be nominated anytime throughout the academic year. The nomination is brought to a SC meeting while the nominee is not present. The SC makes a decision on adding a new member by the process of consensus.
