TCPI ADVISORY BOARD
The TCPI Advisory Board consists of volunteer community partners. Collectively they represent a wide variety of community leaders whose function is to identify, vet and recommend public-public and public-private (P4) partnerships capable of sustaining military base missions and municipal functions. Recommended partnership ideas are presented to the EDC-Eglin-Hurlburt Community Partnership Program Leadership Committee for final engagement determination.
TCPI Work Groups
The TCPI Advisory Board developed an avenue to facilitate community and grassroots input through the utilization of work groups. Work Group 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. Work Groups consist of three volunteer co-chairs representing the EEHCP and military and civilian subject matter experts. Each Work Group may create ad hoc task forces as required. Work Groups and/or ad hoc task forces are created as needs are identified.
Leveraging military installation and local community capabilities and resources to reduce costs or risks by identifying shared values and opportunities.
