The Strategic Executive Council (SEC) is a leadership group that provides advice and counsel about strategic and tactical issues to UTMB’s President and Executive Vice Presidents. The SEC regularly discusses opportunities and challenges associated with the pursuit of institutional goals and helps track progress toward accomplishment of goals. In turn, members of the council are expected to facilitate and coordinate communication about priority goals, programs and initiatives to faculty and staff members.
