Approval of March 4, 2019 ELT Notes Thomas Greene Thumbs up
Does the ELT support the initiation of the Sustainability Project Team? (Attachment - Project Initiation). Note: The ELT has already expressed support for said project team, however, it is important to review the initiation form and document this support. Olga and Thomas - ELT already expressed support of project team
- official initiation form developed
- thumbs up

Does the ELT support the adoption of the Advisory Committee framework and support structure as revised (Attachment)? Tressa Tabares - Changes and recommendations incorporated
