Steering Committee

SD BRIN Steering Committee oversees the program and the progress toward program goals. Members of the Steering Committee include a scientific liaison and an administrator from each of the participating institutions and several representatives from the cores plus a liaison from South Dakota State University. Activities among the institutions are discussed as information is shared and network-wide activities are planned by the SC. The SC meets monthly by teleconference.
