Co-chairs are volunteers that spent a significant portion of their time between the Topic Team Kick-off and the Advisory Panel meeting for their Team working on the Blueprint Plan. A contractor provided technical support to assist the Teams in developing ideas to address the various challenges associated with each Topic. Public meetings Public meetings were conducted for the Topic Teams, and a schedule was established that outlined dates and locations. The meetings were presided over by the Governor's EO Team. The first portion of the meeting consisted of a presentation by the Team co-chairs, manager and the contractor as appropriate. The co-chairs, manager and contractor then joined the Governor's EO Team in receiving public testimony. Each Topic Team meeting was scheduled to take place on a single day.
