Additionally, it will allow for broader participation including EHD, the regulated community and other interested members of the public. An introductory meeting will be hosted by Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, Board Counsel, to lay out the process and expectations of the group formed under the purview of the Board. Anyone interested in joining the group should send their name and a brief introduction of themselves and the groups they represent or are working with to the Air Quality Control Board Liaison, Valerie Armijo, no later than April 30, 2023.
