The Environmental Council is a body of individuals representing over 200 area RCGA member companies and organizations including industry, small business, environmental scientists, engineers and consultants, attorneys, academicians, municipal officials and civic leaders.
Participation is open to all RCGA members.
Topics ranging from air quality maintenance to brownfield redevelopment to water, waste and energy administration are the focus of numerous committees and workgroups comprised of over 250 individual Council members and regional stakeholders. The Council and its component committees serve as a conduit for information to member organizations as well as a forum for discussion of salient environmental and economic issues affecting area businesses. The Environmental Council is formally represented on RCGA's Board by the Vice Chair for the Environment. RCGA volunteers and staff have established a routine presence in Jefferson City and Springfield impacting environmental issues in legislative, executive and regulatory venues. Recent years have proven particularly successful in both states.
