Committees委員会

Planning & Steering Committee

Our Planning & Steering committee deliberates over the activities and policy direction of the consortium and oversees the budget. With our most senior-level officers forming the bulk of membership on this committee, they ensure the direction and most significant decisions are consistent with our overriding vision and philosophy. The committee also approves all new members, activities, and committees. With the chairs from all committees represented, we ensure activities are coordinated and information is shared across the Consortium.
