Steering Committee - Public Health Improvement Partnership

Ongoing oversight of the workplan through the year rests with the Steering Committee. This includes all Committee Co-Chairs. They meet primarily by phone on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, to ensure activities are coordinated and to check on progress. Co-Chairs provide the overall leadership for each committee effort and direct the work. They read and review materials, develop and approve agendas, plan the course of work to be performed. They rely on staff to carry out the general functions and the detail work that must be done to support the committee.
