National COSEE Council
| The National COSEE Council (NCC) is the primary governing body for the Network and consists of one representative from each Center and the Central Coordinating Office (CCO), plus non-voting members from the government agencies that provide major funding. The NCC works collaboratively with the CCO on internal and external communication, policy setting, identification and dissemination of effective practices, and Network expansion and outreach. The NCC meets 3-4 times per year. |
