    Steering Committee - GIR

    The Group on Information Resources (GIR) is governed by a nine-member steering committee that sets the strategic direction for the group. The work of the GIR is done through committees, work groups and task forces comprised of interested and knowledgeable members. The GIR also supports communities that have demonstrated a strong desire to come together professionally to share information with special interest groups. If you are interested in future opportunities for GIR leadership, please visit GIR Opportunities for Leadership and Engagement | AAMC.  Also, learn more about the expectations of GIR Steering Committee members.
