This meeting will include a question and answer discussion between board members and EAC staff.

Board members will also review FACA Board membership guidelines and policies with EAC General Counsel and receive a general update about the EAC from the Executive Director.

In an effort to update and improve version 1.0 of the VVSG, on March 31, 2015, the EAC commissioners unanimously approved VVSG 1.1.
