UA Summit Team
The Summit Team includes leaders of key functional areas throughout the university system and system governance bodies along with the chair of each system-wide council. Chaired by the UA President, the expanded Summit Team meets monthly for four hours via video and twice annually for full day face-to-face meetings. The Executive Assistant to the President and the Board of Regents Executive Officer are expected to attend all Summit Team meetings.
The decision making authority of the Summit Team has transferred to the Executive Council, also chaired by the UA President, and includes the chancellors, vice president for university relations, and the interim vice president for academic and student affairs. The Executive Council meets weekly by video.
System-wide councils play a critical role in supporting a collaborative and aligned development of the policies, programs, and processes that will support our goals of meeting the state’s higher education needs. Councils meet monthly via telephone and/or video and twice annually for face-to-face meetings. The chair or designee of each system-wide governance group may serve on any system-wide council. Additional members may be added by request of the council chair with approval by the president. System-wide council chairs are responsible for ensuring that each council has an approved charter and system-wide priorities are implemented in a collaborative and coordinated manner, for leading communication with the summit team, and for escalating issues that require consideration by the Executive Council and UA President.
