Currently the formal roles identified within the CARMA Network are limited to the Steering Committee and herd "contacts".

 

Individuals on the Steering Committee help guide the progress of CARMA (overall priorities, developing implementation plan) as well as having specific "Component" responsibilities.

 

STEERING COMMITTEE:
Responsible for overall priorities, developing implementation plan

 

    Don Russell (coordinator, synthesis),
    Anne Gunn (demography, synthesis),
    Roy Ashenfelter (community, Alaska)
    Susan Kutz (parasites and disease),
    Brad Griffith (habitat/remote sensing),
    Gary Kofinas (co-management),
    Robert White (synthesis, analysis)
    John Mameamskum (community, Ungava)
    Data management - everyone
    Communication/education - everyone

 

Within CARMA we have identified a number of "reference" herds that we will pay particular attention. Those individuals identified as reference herd contacts ensure that the status and content for their herds are kept up to date and historical data is shared with the Network.
