Governance

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee serves as the main decision-making body for the overall goals and collaborative aspects of the consortium. The Executive Committee consists of one designated representative (a PI or other senior investigator) from each core project. The investigators will be the voting members. The designated NIA project officials will be non-voting ex officio members.
