PAC Team members

The committee consists of one subject matter expert (SME) from each division. Additional SMEs can be added as necessary. Each division representative shall be evaluated by the committee and the proponent for rotating off the committee following a term of 5 years. A chairperson of the committee will be elected by the committee for a 2 year term or earlier if a vacancy occurs. The chair may serve for one additional 2 year term if the team elects them. The committee may include subject matter experts to use as resources from support elements such as Contracting, Office of Counsel, Resource Management, Planning, Logistics, or other offices within Civil Works. The proponent shall be the Senior Policy Advisor for Partnerships and act as the liaison between the PAC and HQUSACE and other HQUSACE elements.

Committee vacancies are reported to the proponent, along with a recommendation of specific credentials (e.g. OPM, specialist, field level, district level, division level, etc.) required to fill the vacancy in order to maintain or expand the diversity of the committee as appropriate. Committee vacancies are approved by the Chief of NRM, HQUSACE from nominations submitted by the MSCs, based on the recommendation of the proponent and the PAC. A minimum of two nominations from the MSC is required for PAC selection. There are no limits as to how many candidates may apply for each vacancy. New committee members serve a one-year probation period to learn their role as a PAC member and to ensure the continued success and cohesiveness of the team. Transfer of committee members outside of the MSC they represent when originally appointed will result in the end of their service to the committee.
