A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
Thirteen members of the Administrative Leadership Development Program came together to form the University of Missouri's Sustainability Task Force. The 2009 Plan develops recommendations in the sustainability plan for

Over 17 months, members of the committee engaged with faculty, staff and students across the campus representing a variety of areas, departments and disciplines. Committee members traveled across campus and the state to view some of the best practices used in sustainability. Notably, some of those best practices are already engaged here at Mizzou.
