The
Board may establish committees to assist the Board in carrying out its
responsibilities. The committees so
established may be standing committees, with its members designated by the
Board President on an annual basis, or, they may be special or ad hoc
committees, the members of which shall be appointed by the Board President for
such period of time as it takes to complete their assigned tasks. Any or all of the committees so established
pursuant to this policy may be dissolved at any time by majority vote of the
Board.

Board hereby establishes the following standing committees, whose members shall
serve for a term of one (1) year from the annual organizational meeting of the
Board in November:

The
Board President shall designate one of the members of each committee as its chairman. All board members shall have notice of the
meetings of all committees, in order to attend at their discretion. The Board President shall be an ex-officio
member of each standing, special or ad hoc committee. Meetings of any committee established hereby
shall be scheduled by the committee chairman after consultation with other
members of the committee.
COMMITTEE FUNCTIONS
The
function of committees is to be fact-finding, deliberative and advisory. Board committees are to help the Board do its
job, not help the staff do its job.
Committees will assist the Board chiefly by preparing policy alternatives
and identifying areas of concern. Board
committees may not act or speak for the Board.
The Board shall define the specific duties of any special or ad hoc
committee to be appointed by the Board President. Further, the Board, in its sole discretion,
