ACADEMY EXECUTIVE COUNCIL:

The Executive Council is the overall governance, administrative, and decision-making body of the Academy for membership and all aspects of the organization.  The AEC receives recommendations from the Academy Advisory Groups and makes final decisions regarding membership applications.  It also receives recommendations from Academy Teams and provides overall direction for programming and collaborative efforts among the teams and the members.  Its membership includes representatives from each of the schools, proportionate to faculty size, who are selected from the Academy members.  The Chairs of each Academy Advisory Group serve as members of the Academy Executive Council (AEC) to facilitate communication and coordination.  AEC members also serve as liaisons to the various Academy Teams.
