Committees
The N EGC is guided by two committees that provide insight, leadership and perspective to the organization.
Advisory Committee The NEGC has an active and engaged Advisory Committee that provides input and guidance for all project activities. Members provide representation from all 6 New England states. They bring with them diversity in perspectives that greatly enriches the work of the NEGC. The 19 members include physicians, geneticists, public health professionals, concerned consumers and Newborn Screening professionals.
Collaborative Council The NEGC’s work is carried out by 6 work groups that address the organization’s goals and objectives. The Chairperson of each of the work groups is a member of the Collaborative Council. The Principal Investigator, the Project Evaluator and the Project Manager are also members of the Council. Additionally, the Chairperson of the Advisory Committee is a member, providing a key link between the leadership bodies of the NEGC. The Council meets quarterly to address issues, opportunities and challenges of the NEGC as they arise.
