California Air Resources Board

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has contracted with 20 community experts to co-develop a Community Engagement Model (Model). These experts come from a variety of regions throughout California and are subject matter experts within their community, community-based group, neighborhood, and or field. They have lived, professional, and leadership experiences uncommon in government bodies and industry.

Through this co-development process, community experts and CARB staff will work jointly for approximately sixteen months to refine the Model. Community experts’ responsibilities and expectations are listed on the community expert solicitation page.

Meet the community experts

Community Expert Meetings

There will be four Community Expert Meetings. Please find recordings and other meeting materials below.

Public Dialogue Sessions

In addition to the Community Expert meetings, CARB staff will be holding public dialogue sessions throughout California, both in-person and virtually, in late 2023 and early 2024. The goal of these sessions is to hear from community members as we develop the Community Engagement Model. Dates and locations will be posted as soon as they are determined.  To learn about upcoming dates and locations, please subscribe for email updates on the Environmental Justice Stakeholders Group
