Board of Directors
The UCBN Charter, originally written in 2002, describes the process used to plan, manage, and evaluate the Network monitoring program in accordance with the intent and purpose of the NPS Natural Resource Challenge. The Board of Directors represents Superintendents from the nine UCBN parks, a representative from the SAC, the Pacific West Region (PWR) I&M Coordinator, the Deputy Regional Director and UCBN liaison, and the UCBN Coordinator. The Board is charged with oversight of the Network’s vital signs monitoring program and makes all significant management and budgeting decisions. The Board receives technical assistance and advice from the Science Advisory Committee as well as program quality assurance, oversight, and technical assistance as requested from the NPS PWR. This management structure is designed to foster development of a monitoring program which is responsive to the unique set of long-term resource issues and threats within the Network parks.
