The Steering Team is a temporary, transitional team that will cease to exist after the formal election of ONE Wake's Strategy Team in the fall of 2021. The Strategy Team will continue the work of the Steering Team. The timeline for the formation of the Strategy Team in 2021 is listed below: 

• February 25: First call for nominations made
• July 13: Deadline to receive nominations (review nominations here)

Currently the Steering Team serves as the ONE Wake's corporate board, develops the strategic organizing goals and plans, oversees fiscal responsibility, and evaluates personnel. The Steering Team formulates and recommends an annual budget to the Countywide Leaders Caucus, oversees the annual audit, reviews quarterly financial statements, and evaluates the work of the Lead Organizer.
