The first meeting for the Agriculture and Water Quality Advisory Committee with co-chairs Vic Stokes and Maia Bellon was March 19, 2014. The meeting was held at the DOE offices in Lacey, WA. There were 17 organizations present by representatives and many of the secondary representatives were also present in the audience. The audience was packed with interested parties who were only allowed limited interaction. I was there as the WCA Representative.

DOE also set up a link on their website for people to follow what is going on with the meetings and to know who attends as the representatives. Here is the link to that website:

I have a full article detailing what happened at the meeting coming out in the Ketch Pen.
