Steering Committee
What does it take to enhance the appearance of Sullivan County, while awakening community pride? The goal of Sullivan Renaissance - in collaboration with the people who live and work and visit here - is to answer that question through action. To that end, the staff and steering committee of Sullivan Renaissance work hard to provide the resources and assistance to accomplish our mission.

Activities are directed by the Steering Committee, which helps to plan and shape the program; gives time and service at critical points; and is a cheerleader for the Sullivan Renaissance participating groups and their projects. Steering Committee members attend regular meetings, as well as the Winter Conference in February, the Spring Forum in March and the Awards Ceremony in August. They also participate by reviewing and awarding grants; making site visits; attending events hosted by project communities; and serving on several committees.
