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 in line with the Strategic Plan, and prioritise 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.

Executive sponsorship
Where an agenda item is proposed by a University staff member who is not a member of the Executive Leadership Team, an appropriate Executive Sponsor for the item must be identified.
This sponsor should be the member of Executive Leadership Team whose portfolio or interests most closely align with the topic at hand; this will often (but not always) be the supervisor of the staff member putting forward the agenda item.

Papers for consideration by the Executive Leadership Team must be provided by close of business seven (7) days prior to the relevant meeting. Papers should be submitted on the Coversheet template.
