ELUPEG - People
Governance takes place at three levels - the Steering Board, the Advisory Committee, and the Collaborative Working Group Leaders.
The Steering Board
The Steering Board carries the fiduciary responsibility for the management of ELUPEG. As well as being responsible for the legal, financial and marketing requirements that come with running any business, the board makes the day to day decisions about meeting content, sponsorships, affiliations and overall direction. As a non-for-profit organisation, ELUPEG relies heavily on the willingness of board members to give generously of their time.
