ALU Committees
The ALU Curriculum Group
The Curriculum Group is responsible for updating, editing and maintaining the ALU and MRAP textbooks. In addition to soliciting authors for new content, Curriculum Group members work with authors on updates to the current text. Two of the four ALU texts are revised each year, so that every two years, a new edition of each text is available. The Curriculum Group also updates the Fundamentals of Risk Selection booklet.
The revised Fundamentals of Risk Selection booklet is now available.
