Techinical advisory committee members
The TAC charter is to advise and consent on state programs and VAccess-MAGIC information products & technology issues, strategic plans, and related stakeholder needs. The representatives are being offered the opportunity to participate in the project’s educational, prototyping and testing program efforts.
The TAC is composed of the Commonwealth of Virginia and State of Maryland technical representatives from natural resource regulatory, programmatic, decision support and legislative fact finding organizations and other relevant stakeholders that represent the diverse spatial information user communities at the regional, state, and local government levels. ‘‘Technical Advisory Committee Members’, presented in the Management Support section below, lists known members, candidates and their affiliations. Its purpose, jointly implemented with the project team, is to:
• Determine and prioritize the geospatial/temporal information requirements that direct the research conducted under VAccess-MAGIC and its RS data needs.
• Provide insight into current state program requirements and activities that impact and can be supported by VAccess-MAGIC activities
• Establish program quantitative performance measurement criteria by documenting baseline conditions (i.e., current Commonwealth practices) for satisfying those information requirements.
• Provide a framework for independent assessment of benefits achieved through VAccess-MAGIC relative to TAC-determined spatial information requirements. This is expected to be a quantitative assessment of performance results compared to baseline conditions, as required by the GPRA, (Government Performance Requirements Act).
An additional function has been added to the TAC this year because of the expanded scope of effort, the Inter Agency State Coordinator. That person will address internal state issues, e.g. across Agencies within the Commonwealth administration.
