Initiative and strategy champions will bring recommendations to the SPC as resources, evaluation and communication efforts are needed. Recommendations will run through the SPC and the chancellor co-chair (or his/her designee) will then take recommendations to the Executive Council for final approval. Thus, as initiatives are completed and added, AG 2025 leadership will transition and responsibilities will be shared broadly. The SPC is co-chaired by President, Tom Snyder; Bloomington Chancellor, John Whikehart and Associate Vice President for Planning and Research, Jill Robinson Kramer.
