Engagement teams

project team

A UFMP Project Team was created to serve as a steering committee throughout the entire UFMP project.  This group was engaged frequently along the way, weighing in on the engagement process, community priorities, data review and review of plan goals and recommendations.  We are grateful for the time and efforts put in by this important team!
