The Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission (SEEC) was established by a (1984 Treaty between Canada and the U.S ). It is based on an agreement between the City of Seattle and the Province of British Columbia〔http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/BRDO/boardView.asp?boardNum=6054 "Government of British Columbia, Directory of Agencies"〕 to settle the controversy over the High Ross Dam proposal. SEEC is effective in caring for the Upper Skagit Watershed through its collaborations with partner organizations. SEEC has pursued and maintains relationships with agencies and organizations that enable it to accomplish tasks that promote education, enhance recreation, participate in land management and ecosystem management. == Two Delegations == The sixteen-member Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission charged with administering (the Endowment Fund ) consists of an eight-person Canadian delegation appointed by the Premier of British Columbia and an eight-person U.S. delegation appointed by the Mayor of Seattle.〔https://www.seattle.gov/html/citizen/boardsportal.asp "City Boards and Commissions Directly Appointed by the Mayor of Seattle"〕 All are appointed to four-year terms on a staggered basis.〔http://www.cityofseattle.net/light/environment/SEEC/ "Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission"〕 Each delegation has four Commissioners and four Alternate Commissioners who vote in the Commissioner's absence. In practice, all members of the Commission participate in a wide variety of projects. Each delegation elects a Chair from among their Commissioners to serve for the duration of their term. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
