Charge – All charges align with the Strategic Goals of the Association. They are enduring in nature, but can be amended by the Board of Directors to ensure that they remain relevant. The Board has the authority to sunset committees or to create new committees as appropriate.

Scope of Work – The scope of work will change on a yearly basis as needed to meet the strategic goals. The Board of Directors will conduct an annual review of the “scope of work” for all committees to ensure that the work is tied to the strategic goals of the Association. The scope of work for each committee must be reflected in the budget of the Association.

Composition – All committees are limited to 7 members. There will be a chair of each committee and a Board liaison to each committee. If the work of the committee requires additional expertise, the committee can petition the Board to form a subcommittee for a particular project for a fixed amount of time.

Chair of Standing Committee – The responsibilities of the chair of the committee include setting the agenda for each meeting, drafting the annual scope of work with consultation from the committee, reviewing minutes of the meetings and leading each committee meeting. Each committee will elect its own chair who will serve one-year terms. No Board member can serve as a chair.

Board Liaison – The Board liaison is a member of the committee and shares the same responsibilities as other committee members. The liaison will provide a report on the Committee’s work at each meeting of the Board. The Board liaison will serve on the committee for as long as the Board term.
