The function of the Access & Product Management Advisory Committee (APMAC) is to advise MMV's Access team on appropriate strategies to achieve its goals.
The APMAC is composed of 10 to 20 members, nominated by the President and CEO. Members are appointed for 2 to 4 years, with appointments staggered so as to provide a rotating membership.
The members of the APMAC come from both industry and academia and cover the full range of expertise required to achieve access objectives.
