Consortium Council
CUEE Council is the principal decision-making body and includes participants from all member universities. The Council also serves (through the Secretariat) as a strategic information and planning body, making it possible for members to inform each other of plans and key decisions and take advantage of opportunities to shape and align the Consortium with emerging professional and government evaluation-related priorities.
CUEE Chair and Vice-Chair lead all meetings of the Consortium Council and work with the Secretariat to communicate with members about issues and initiatives that fulfill CUEE’s goals and objectives.
CUEE Secretariat facilitates the day-to-day operations of the Consortium including ongoing communication and liaising with members.
