Collaborative Steering Team

The Collaboration Steering Team consists of 4 appointed members of the JMU community and 4 appointed members of the RMH community for a total of 8 members, including a facilitator and a facilitator-elect. The facilitator sends reminders of meetings and sets meeting agendas. The facilitator-elect leads when the facilitator is absent and succeeds the current facilitator. The roles of facilitator and facilitator-elect will alternate between RMH and JMU representatives on an annual basis, with terms running from January through December.
