The Steering Committee will meet every six weeks to discuss the status of its duties. The role encompasses various key responsibilities. These include setting priorities for external engagement that align with the LDYC’s operational goals and overarching mission. It also involves close coordination with Regional Officers to advance the LDYC’s mission in specific regions and at relevant events. Furthermore, the role entails regular reporting to and engagement with the LDYC membership, disseminating updates on Coalition progress and opportunities for involvement through LDYC-wide meetings and other communication avenues. Additionally, it involves providing support for the institutional development of the LDYC, assessing and approving reports from Working Group Coordinators, and overseeing the creation of LDYC Annual Narrative Reports, ensuring comprehensive and accurate documentation of the Coalition’s activities and achievements. Elections and appointments must be conducted yearly, and Steering Committee members are not subject to term limits.  The LDYC Global Coordinators will co-chair the committee.
