# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The purpose of the ISAC is to provide advice to the NISC, as authorized by Executive Orders 13112 and 13751, on a broad array of issues related to preventing the introduction of invasive species and providing for their control and minimizing the economic, ecological, and human health impacts that invasive species cause. NISC is co-chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Commerce. The duty of NISC is to provide national leadership regarding invasive species issues.

The purpose of the in-person meeting on Monday, October 21, 2024, through Wednesday, October 23, 2024, is to convene the full ISAC to finalize and formally approve deliverables developed by its subcommittees on two (2) topics requested by NISC: (1) the impacts of invasive species on islands; and (2) feedback on the National Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) Framework. The committee will also participate in a field trip to He'eia State Park, visiting with local organizations including Kāko`o `Ōiwi and Paepae o He'eia to observe on-the-ground efforts in wetland restoration and invasive species management.

*Meeting Agenda:*                     The meeting agenda will consist of an opening session with remarks from state and local leadership, updates from NISC member agencies, an island issues forum, discussion of outputs by the two subcommittees, and consideration of lessons learned and future issues for ISAC consideration. Opportunities for public comment will be provided at the end of the meeting day on Monday and Wednesday.
