Committees of the Board and Committees of the Corporation

APsaA COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD AND COMMITTEES OF THE CORPORATION

Committees of the Board are governance committees that are led and populated by Executive Councilors. APsaA members elect officers and Councilors-at-Large. Societies elect Councilors. Councilors vote on who will serve on Council committees. Non-Councilor members may be invited to join a Council committee when particular expertise is needed. The current Committees of the Board (of Executive Council) are the following:

1.  Executive Committee

2.  Administrative Liaison

3.  Audit

4.  Budgetary Advisory Committee

5.  Compensation

6.  Committee on Council

7.  Honorary Membership and Awards

8.  Membership Requirements and Review

9.  Nominations Advisory (Council)

10. Policies and Procedure

11. Subcommittee to advise the President on appointment of DPE Head and Associate Head

Committees of the Corporation are those committees of APsaA which carry out its mission and carry out the policies established by the Executive Council. These committees are chaired and populated by APsaA members who volunteer their time. The committee chairs are appointed by the President and the committee members are appointed by the President-elect. All appointments are made collaboratively with new or former chairs of committees. Non-APsaA members may be invited to participate when their expertise is helpful to carrying out a committee’s mission. Committees of the Corporation are organized for administrative purposes into Departments. The President appoints a Head of each Department. That volunteer member oversees the goals, outcomes and needs of the set of committees within his/her department and is the primary person responsible for bringing policy questions to the Executive Council regarding the work of the committees. Current APsaA committees are listed below.
