GEA has various leadership structures that help guide our direction.  These include:

• Delegate Assembly - consisting of voting delegates from each member institution, setting the direction for GEA’s organizing work.
  
  
• Strategy Team - an active committee of the Delegate Assembly, providing leadership and guidance between gatherings
  
  
• Research Action Teams - guide our issue work.  These civic leaders do all the work of researching an issue with experts in the field, and then focusing and planning a concrete and winnable campaign which they then ratify with the Delegate Assembly.  Check out our campaigns page for more information about our current work.
  
  
• Institutional Leaders Caucus - a gathering of the institutional staff who are primarily responsible for the well-being of their organizations.  Meetings include conversations about how to understand their institution's larger role in society and how organizing through GEA can help further their institution’s values and goals.
