The Senior Leadership team works together to ensure consistency in the vision and goals of the Center;develop synergistic interactions among the basic, translational, and clinical elements of the Center;plan proactive approaches to the development of the research base and resources;effectively leverage all available resources at MUSC and at the state and national levels;engage in community outreach;and oversee all activities of the HCC. The Senior Leadership team meets several times a month in the context of HCC's various board/committee/council meetings, one-on-one with the Director, and once a month as a formal Executive Council. They provide direct counsel and recommendations to the Director based on these interactions. All final authority for decisions on behalf of the HCC resides with the Director.
