What is the Executive Committee?
Each consortium member’s board-approved designee and/or their board-approved alternate attends every Executive Committee meeting to review, discuss, and vote on strategic proposals submitted by the NOCRC advisory groups.
Voting members have the authority to vote on strategies, proposals, budgets, and other items required by the grant or consortium protocols. They are expected to remain unbiased during the decision-making process and consider all advisory groups and strategies equal in importance.
Voting members should also have a working knowledge of CAEP outcomes and organizational budgets and are encouraged to connect with the CAEP Director if they require support in this area.
