Dean Khattab, working with Mr. Antoun, Mr. Guidry and the rest of the steering committee, is in the process of expanding the council to its full membership. It is expected that the first full DAC meeting will take place in October 2021.

The steering committee is chaired by Dean Khattab and comprises of the following members: Mr. Georges Antoun, Mr. Peter Bernard, Mr. Greg Guidry, Mr. Kam Movassaghi, Ms. Corinne Dupuy, Ms. Michelle Foreman and Ms. Rebecca Doucet.
