SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The RSC is hosting a workshop to develop recommendations for the possible redevelopment of the Council's RSA program. This is the final workshop in a series four that scoped out research, funding, and enforcement/administration issues and problems associated with the previous RSA program and identified possible considerations and improvements should a new program be redeveloped. During this workshop, participants will review and provide feedback on the recommendations identified from the first three workshops, draft program goals and objectives, and an initial draft strawman of a newly designed RSA program developed by the RSC. Based on the feedback and input received during the workshop, the RSC will then make final recommendations regarding the potential redevelopment of the RSA program to the Council for consideration later in 2022.

A detailed agenda and background documents will be made available on the Council's website ( www.mafmc.org) prior to the meeting.
