With the exception of the Nominating Committee, which is elected, committee chairs are appointed by the president. Chairs can select their committee members immediately upon appointment. Article VII of the Chapter Bylaws establishes six standing committees reference above. Other committees may be appointed as the chapter or executive board deems necessary to achieve chapter goals. The responsibilities of other committees should be specified in the chapter standing rules.
Executive board members are assigned by the president as sponsors of specific committees. Standing committees should meet at regular intervals, preferably prior to executive board meetings. Committee chairs should make regular reports to their sponsors and at chapter meetings or through the chapter newsletter. Special committees can meet as often as needed to fulfill the purpose for which they are appointed. The committee can dissolve when its work is complete and its final report is made.
Each committee chair should have a written agenda prepared for meetings. She should explain clearly to committee members the scope of committee duties, funds allocated and procedures to follow to fulfill committee responsibilities.
