The NGPJV Technical Committee serves as an advisory group to the NGPJV Management Board as well as our partners and their science staffs. The committee’s major purposes are:

• To assist in developing strategies that improve the biological foundation of NGPJV bird conservation planning efforts.
• To identify technical issues limiting efficient & effective bird conservation.
• To respond to any technical questions posed by the Management Board.
• To assist the coordinator in annual reporting to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
