Administration
The Center's mission and goals are met through a wide variety of programs under
the overall supervision of the director, Richard M. Allman, MD. Dr. Allman reports
to the Vice President for Research and eleven sponsoring school deans. The director
and four associate directors serve as the Executive Committee and provide leadership
and oversight for all aspects of the Center’s programs. The
Steering Committee includes all the members of the Executive Committee and
additional faculty members appointed by the director and sponsoring deans to assist
with providing guidance for the development, on-going evaluation, and administration
of the Center's programs.
An External Advisory Committee of nationally recognized
experts in aging meets every two to three years to provide recommendations about
the Center's programs to the Director and the Steering Committee. In addition, Deans,
Department Chairs, and other Center Directors provide ongoing guidance on how the
Center can most effectively carry out its mission. A
Community Advisory Committee of community leaders with interests in the
problems of older adults meets regularly with the Center Director to provide recommendations
that will help the Center be more responsive to the needs of older adults in the
community. A Board of Counselors
provides guidance and leadership for community outreach and development activities.
