Executive Leadership Team
Providing advice to the Vice-Chancellor on matters of strategic and operational significance, the primary role of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is to define and focus the strategic direction of the University. This direction aligns with the Strategic Plan and prioritises operational decisions according to this framework.
Membership of the Executive Leadership Team is drawn from the senior leadership of the University's Colleges and Divisions with the Committee chaired by the Vice-Chancellor.
