TCPI ADVISORY BOARD

The TCPI Advisory Board consists of volunteer community public and private partners.  Collectively they represent a wide variety of community leaders whose function is to help identify, vet and recommend public-public and public-private (P4) partnerships capable of sustaining military base missions and municipal functions. The Advisory Board is comprised of local governments, installation representatives, service providers, utility companies, medical experts, building and real estate associations, chambers of commerce, etc.  The success of TCPI is rooted in the Advisory Board creating and refining targeted work groups to address emergent needs and partnership opportunities.  These tailored Work Groups, augmented by ad hoc Task Forces as needed, are led by three volunteer co-chairs; an Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field and community representative.  

Leveraging military installation and local community capabilities and resources

TCPI Work Groups

The TCPI Advisory Board developed an avenue to facilitate community and grassroots input through the utilization of targeted work groups.  The Advisory Board has identified three overarching efforts; 1) Infrastructure, 2) Quality of Life, and 3) Education/training.  Each line of effort is championed by a military leader.  Targeted Work Groups are identified as needed and structured under a respective line of effort.  Each Work Group consists of volunteer military and civilian subject matter experts and members brainstorm for innovative ideas, conduct SWOT analyses, vet ideas, and progress viable project ideas with respective stakeholders for public-public and public-private (P4) partnerships.  These tailored Work Groups, augmented by ad hoc Task Forces as needed, are led by three volunteer co-chairs; an Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field and community representative.  In order to assist all Work Groups with potential project funding solutions -- local, state or federal -- a Funding Oversight Work Group was also established.
