     Committees 
    Standing 
    committees are established to work in collaboration with the Board of 
    Directors to ensure the accomplishment of specific AASCIN goals and 
    objectives. Committee Chairs will establish criteria for committee 
    membership. Committee members are selected by committee chairs on the basis 
    of the following criteria: (1) Prior committee contributions and experience; 
    (2) Educational preparation; (3) Previous experience; (4) Geographical 
    representation; (5) Appropriate balance of public and private sector 
    representation. 
    With the 
    exception of the Nominating Committee, the term of office for committee 
    members is three years. Members may serve a maximum of two consecutive 
    terms. 
    Members 
    interested in serving on a committee must submit a Committee Interest Sheet 
    by May 1 of each year. New committee members will be notified by May 15 of 
    that year, and assume their positions at the close of the Annual Business 
    Meeting in September.  |
