MHEC committees bring practitioners and subject matter experts together to share knowledge and develop approaches to opportunities and challenges in higher education.

MHEC relies upon these committees to continually improve and evaluate contracts, programs, and initiatives; to review research; and to lead problem solving with other leaders in higher education.
