Advisory & Leadership Committees

North Central Region SARE is managed and led by PDP State Coordinators, Regional Administrative Council, Regional Technical and Review Committees, and Staff.

• Regional  Administrative Council  (AC), representing various agricultural sectors, states, and organizations. The AC sets program priorities and makes granting decisions.
• Professional Development Program (PDP) State Coordinators represent land-grant institutions in the North Central region. PDP Coordinators direct sustainable agriculture education in their respective states. If you need help with any related issue please contact your State Representative for assistance.
• Regional Technical Committee (TC) and Review Committees, also comprised of various agricultural stakeholders. The Technical Committee and other Review Committees review proposals and make recommendations to the AC. 
• Staff, primarily housed at the University of Minnesota, carries out AC directives, collecting and distributing SARE information on sustainable agriculture. Staff are also located at the Lincoln University and the University of Missouri.
