The Strategy and Resource Committee is chaired by Terry Winters, and its membership is primarily made up of the Chairs and CEOs of our fundraising Support Partners. While this committee does not have ultimate decision-making powers, the committee is a forum for the Support Partners to work closely together on global strategy, consistency of policy development and funding. The Committee also provides operational governance of the Network Services Organization as well as advising the Network Board on strategy and the resourcing of that strategy.
