Strategy 3 Increase staff support for committee coordination. Staff follow-through on committee work and recommendations is essential. Strategy 4 The Vice President for Committees will meet with committee chairs on the Wednesday of the Annual Conference to update committee chairs prior to committee meetings and to provide orientation for new chairs. Objective IV Improve committee-membership linkages and communicate committee developments and actions to the membership on a regular basis. This would make it possible for committee work to be more responsive to members and their professional goals and needs.
Objective V Provide for the establishment and dissolution of committees.
An open meeting would then be held at the Annual Conference to determine interest among the membership. If there is sufficient interest among the membership and the Executive Committee, the proposal will then be formalized and presented to the Board for action. The Vice President will also advise the President on forming new committees and dissolving current ones in accordance with the by-laws. The Executive Committee will present recommendations for the dissolution of a committee to the Board of Directors for its approval. Strategy 4 Task forces and ad hoc committees will be dissolved by the President when their task or mandate is complete.
