An important, and required, part of the CEDS process is the creation of a Review Committee. The Review Committee composition has been discussed and revised per input and feedback of all members. As a result, members have been added to ensure that it represents all jurisdictions adequately.
Please note: the Review Committee is subject to regular change. Members may retire, change positions, or alternatively, additional representation may be identified by existing members during the process. This list is current as of 10/14/2025.
