FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT TEAMS

Functional support teams will conduct a detailed analysis of what currently exists in their functional areas and provide recommendations for the task force to consider in developing a PR strategy proposal for the new school.

Functional group leads are assigned to MarCom-Galveston to ensure appropriate reporting into the task force and community groups and to support feedback and analysis efforts.

Leads will create a team of Galveston and College Station knowledge experts to deliver actionable recommendations to the task force.
