Outside Involvement Committee

The Division of Air Quality's Outside Involvement Committee is a stakeholder group that includes DAQ staff, the regulated community, environmental groups and the public. The group meets quarterly at the Green Square building in Raleigh and at various regional locations across the state.

This forum is an opportunity for attendees to ask questions of the DAQ staff and management on a wide range of air quality issues and processes. Staff will also provide updates on key changes or issues affecting the division, including updates in rulemaking, air monitoring, attainment planning, grants, permitting and other topics. Our goal is to open a dialogue on the issues that matter to North Carolinians and create an opportunity for participants to learn about developing air quality issues in our state.

Upcoming Meetings

Meetings are held quarterly, typically on a Tuesday in February, May, August and November. Check the Public Notices/Events page for specific meeting dates and access information. Agendas and meeting information will also be emailed to those subscribed to the Outside Involvement Committee List, typically 1-2 weeks prior to each meeting. Contact us to subscribe to this list. 

Outside Involvement Committee meetings are open to the public. All meetings are hybrid, with options to attend virtually or in person. Meetings are typically held from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
