The Joint Strategic Advisory Committee (JSAC) advises California’s Regional Associations, SCCOOS and CeNCOOS, on how best to meet end user needs within the state. The JSAC meets at least once a year, alternating between the CeNCOOS and SCCOOS regions, and continually updates the two Regional Associations on management needs, industry needs, best products, etc. Membership in the JSAC is statewide and is determined by invitations extended by the joint leadership of CeNCOOS and SCCOOS. Members of the Executive Committees of both Regional Associations are invited to the JSAC meetings.
