Description
The Steering Committee (SC) is the main governing body of the Consortium. It is composed of stewards representing scientific perspectives from across ADSP constituencies and is focused on ensuring the success of the ADSP. The SC votes on major initiatives and updates or changes to Consortium policies, procedures, Working Groups (WGs) and Committees, and/or the scientific agenda. The SC also helps to maintain institutional knowledge and track progress of the ADSP program, receiving updates from WGs and Committees by special request when routine channels (e.g. the Across ADSP newsletter or website updates) are insufficient. The SC is also responsible for ensuring that Consortium policies, procedures, and decisions are enacted, for ensuring alignment of ADSP activities with NIA priorities, responding to EPC reports, and addressing Congressional reporting requests from the NIA.
