Non-Agenda Items

The following NSPE committees/task forces/advisory groups/etc., have either not submitted any written reports or have submitted written reports without any actual recommendations requiring NSPE Board of Director action. Therefore, in the interests of permitting the NSPE Board of Directors to discuss major strategic issues and to use its limited time in the most efficient manner, oral reports regarding these committees/task forces/advisory groups/etc. should only be made by board members if such reports involve strategic issues critical to the work of the NSPE Board of Directors.
