Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is responsible for governing and managing the Council, setting policy, defining positions on issues, maintaining direction and purpose, and performing activities that promote the purpose of the Council. It is composed of Officers, Community Representatives, Appointed Representatives, and Advisory Representatives.

All residents of Oakland Police Beat 13Z are eligible to serve on the Steering Committee. A list of Expectations is used when new candidates are considered for membership on the Committee. Nominations are approved by the Steering Committee and ratified by a majority present at the next community meeting.

If you are interested in serving on the Steering Committee contact Jim Clardy, Nominations Chair.

In April 2005 and April 2006 the Steering Committee held retreats to focus on a strategic plan.
