UCCC Committees

Utah Clean Cities Members are strongly encouraged to participate on at least one committee. They meet once a month throughout the year and report back to the Operating Committee. These Committees are a crucial element of the coalition. By pooling stakeholder resources, UCCC's ability to promote Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fuel Vehicle increases 10-fold. It is also critical communication conduit for stakeholders to stay informed about UCCC activities and for the Coalition to connect with its members. If you you wish to be added to a committee email list or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Irene Rizza 801-535-7736 irene.rizza@utahcleancities.org
