The Executive Committee is comprised of IRUS faculty and representatives from IRUS sponsors, ensuring that sponsors have direct input into the development of new programs, new activities, and policy decisions. Committee members choose topics for events such as technology symposia, and themes for new roundtables and technical interchange/networking meeting series. The Executive Committee meets quarterly.
