Our national steering committee is comprised of thought leaders from across both the campus and the country who provide guidance regarding overall direction and vision for the center’s activities. We’re proud to have representation from the health professional schools on campus, including several deans. The steering committee assists the center to define, develop, and achieve its goals, in addition to helping facilitate relationships with communities and relevant organizations and agencies.

Our cadre of partners continues to grow with interprofessional affiliate faculty representing multiple departments, specialties, schools/universities, associations, health systems, and non-governmental organizations. Shared commitment to specific policy projects and research, paired with our breadth and depth of expertise, expands our capacity and strengthens our reach.
