Governance and leadership

The Steering Council is responsible for moving forward strategic initiatives and priorities of the SIR and SIR Foundation Strategic Plan. Comprised of representatives from both SIR and SIR Foundation, this collaborative group reviews issues and opportunities that arise from sections, divisions, clinician specialty councils and committees. The Steering Council encourages and places an emphasis on proposals that include collaborative input and engagement across divisions and Clinical Specialty Councils to address critical issues.

The Steering Council has the authority to delegate work to the appropriate body or establish task forces to advance such work. If a need for additional resources arises, the proposal is managed by the Steering Council and then, as appropriate, advanced to the SIR Board of Directors for authorizing supplementary resources as necessary.

The Steering Council has the authority to move strategy forward as outlined by the joint SIR and SIR Foundation Strategic Plan. The Steering Council is responsible for organizing and monitoring activity across organizational bodies and makes recommendations to the board through the SIR secretary.
