A foundation principle of the VCCC Alliance is that we are greater than the sum of our parts.
Expert steering groups play a key role in leading the implementation and delivering the objectives of the programs that form the VCCC Alliance Strategic Program Plan 2021-24, liaising and building synergies between the programs and working collaboratively with the VCCC Alliance program management team.
