Committees of the Association

Academe, Nov/Dec 2004

Appointments to standing committees of the Association are ordinarily for a term of three years; the terms of approximately one-third of the members of each committee expire with the adjournment of each annual meeting. By Council action in June 1977 (as amended in November 1988), appointments to a "second consecutive three-year term shall be occasional; a third consecutive three-year term shall be rare." An appointment may be extended beyond nine consecutive years only in extraordinary circumstances and subject to ratification by the Executive Committee and the Council. Appointments are made by the president of the Association, who has the advice of members of the Association, the general secretary, and other members of the staff. The general secretary assigns members of the staff to assist the committees in their work.

A list of committee appointments follows, with the date of expiration given after each name. In addition to standing committees, there are special committees whose members serve ex offlcio or are appointed by the president according to regulations established by the Council. The officers of the Assembly of State Conferences and of the Collective Bargaining Congress are elected by those bodies. The Constitution provides that the president shall be ex of the member of all committees except the Nominating Committee.
