RCST is responsible for oversight of projects developed by multiple chapters
working together on conservation issues of regional significance. RCST reviews
plans, allocates funding and offers ongoing support to the projects that are funded.
RCST assists in communication and coordination between regional projects and

RCST reviews both mid year and year end reports from all funded projects and
reports to CGC on those reports. Members of RCST are expected to serve as
liaisons to the various funded projects, participate in conference calls
