Exchange Network Leadership Council

The mission of the Exchange Network Leadership Council (ENLC) is to provide the Network with political support and leadership; establish strategic direction and planning activities; work to ensure that adequate Network resources are secured; and connect the Network to broader communities of interest.

The ENLC authored a Strategic Plan for the Exchange Network. The Plan establishes the strategic direction for the Network and codifies the ENLC’s commitment to building and implementing a state-of-the-art means for exchanging environmental data and supporting better environmental decisions.

To ensure that the ENLC draws upon the expertise of a wide range of Partners, its membership consists of EPA and State Co-Chairs and representatives from EPA, States, and Tribes.
