The application period for the four open 2027 Vice Chair positions has closed. Applications for 2028 Vice Chair positions will open in summer 2027.

About the Role 

TACs are where most QED-C activities are initiated and implemented. TACs assess, report, and make recommendations on a variety of topics. Guided by the 2025–2028 Strategic Plan and the Steering Committee, TACs may develop programs that address common industry needs. TACs may establish subcommittees or ad hoc project working groups to help accomplish these objectives.

  • Help TAC members to define and cultivate interest in a collaborative industry project and share findings in a report to members. 
  • Prioritize TAC activities and work with QED-C staff to solicit necessary resources. 
  • Submit an abstract to present QED-C work at a conference or seminar. 
  • Launch a program that shares expertise with members or advances specific market opportunities.
