EAC member takes lead to revive Lehigh Valley EAC network; platform, hosting remain unresolved
Summary
A committee member told the Lower Saucon EAC he has taken on a lead role to revive a regional Lehigh Valley EAC network and explore hosting platforms; options include college sponsorship or centralized volunteer portals but costs and hosting agreements are unresolved.
Chad reported that he has taken on a coordinating role to revive the Lehigh Valley Environmental Advisory Council network and to explore options for a shared regional platform to host events, resources and a calendar.
He summarized outreach to prior contacts, noted some organizations could provide hosting or sponsorship (for example, college faculty sponsorship or existing volunteer portals), and described the challenge of centralizing disparate EAC calendars and documents. Chad said existing Penn State Extension materials and volunteer portals contain useful resources but may be behind institutional access walls; he suggested a centralized calendar and resource repository could improve regional coordination if hosting and cost questions are resolved.
Members asked Chad to continue outreach and to provide updated contact information and options at future meetings. The committee did not make binding commitments to funding or a specific host platform during the discussion.
