Mission and Charter

• 2005/2006 Scope of Work - The 2005/2006 scope of work for the GLRPPR program.
• GLRPPR Survey Summary - In 2004, a survey about GLRPPR was put up on the website for anyone to take. The results of the survey can be found in the summary.

The Great Lakes Regional Pollution Prevention Roundtable (GLRPPR) formalized by drafting of a mission and charter statement in 1994. The statement ensures information sharing, issue discussion and program development among member organizations to be primary goals. Funding to support GLRPPR's Executive Director and member services is provided by USEPA Region 5.

Organizational Plan

Conferences

• GLRPPR's current and past conferences

GLRPPR meets for a two day conference twice per year. While both meetings serve to share information, discuss issues and allow program development, the two have slightly different focuses. The winter meeting occurs at the USEPA Region 5 offices in Chicago, Illinois and focuses on Issue Discussion and Workgroup Activities. The summer meeting is held in one of our member states. The format is conference oriented and is used to showcase state P2 activities and provide an opportunity for local and state participants to meet.

Regional Measurement Task Force

• View the regional measurement task force page

This task force will seek to understand how programs in GLRPPR currently measure P2 progress in their states - at the program and statewide levels. We will also evaluate how others measure P2 results and how we can adopt methods to improve the quality of those results and report more similar results. This Task Force will also identify resource limitations and difference between programs and state frameworks. The GLRPPR Steering Committee will determine who from Region 5 will represent the GLRPPR at the national level. Deb Jacobson will represent GLRPPR to the P2Rx project which is expected to have a key role in developing measurement tools and reporting systems.
