Role and Function
Coalition of National Park Service Retirees
MISSION STATEMENT:
We, a coalition of National Park Service retirees, will speak and act for the protection of America’s national parks and for the enjoyment of them in such manner that does not impair their resources nor their intended values and purposes.
The Executive Council is the steering committee for the Coalition. The Council is charged with developing the direction and focus of the organization to accomplish the mission. It will develop and carry out a strategic plan to accomplish the mission. It will provide oversight to the Coalition’s work assuring that the organization’s decisions and actions are effective, efficient and in concert with mission, guiding principles and broader interests of the organization and its members. The Council will lead the Coalition by communicating with its members, identifying key issues to work on, and broadening the work of the organization through its membership. The Council is the principal method of governance of the entire organization. The Chair of the Council will coordinate the activities of Executive Council members and the work of Coalition members. Council members will represent the organization as required with other organizations, the media, the National Park Service and Department of Interior. Council members may be asked to represent the organization before Congress or during informational visits to Congressional offices.
