Steering Committee

The Framework’s commitment to inclusion, diversity, collaboration and transparency has supported its ongoing success with government and stakeholders. As part of this commitment, a Steering Committee was established to oversee the development process of the National Lung Health Framework, to provide direction and oversight for the Framework Action Plan, and oversee the administration of national investments directed to the Framework.

The committee members listed below bring a wide range of perspectives and expertise, and reflect the diverse body of stakeholders involved in the Framework’s development and implementation.
