Sustainability Council

T-RUST Advisory Board's 2nd biannual meeting group. The Sustainability Council is modelled after the TRUST board and has congruency in membership.

The Sustainability Council is composed of local and regional stakeholders who provide insight on the RCE’s current initiatives and opportunities, needs and interests within the community, and prospective projects for the Detroit/Windsor RCE to consider.

Membership of the Sustainability Council is growing as the program seeks to constantly draw upon the insight and solicit the feedback of the council in creating a more effective program. Among the current members of the Sustainability Council are:
