Committees'
Responsibilities
NASEO's committees regularly inform the board
and staff about their activities and about important developments concerning
the issues assigned to the committees. And as the organization adopts
official positions, responsible committees educate members, the public,
and appropriate government officials about those positions and issues.
Each committee is responsible for:
- Developing a concise annual report for
the Board of Directors and the Issues Agenda Committee. The committee
report: 1) defines the committee’s core area of interest, 2) sets
out key issues within the area of interest and desired outcomes for
the year linked to each issue, and 3) recommends actions.
- Assuring the process of collecting, analyzing,
and disseminating information on emerging issues includes the input
of all interested members, working through their elected regional representatives.
- Assuring that committee’s reports,
materials, and actions reflects the consensus thinking of all interested
members whenever possible, and when not, that it represents the thinking
of the clear majority of the members.
- Assuring that its reports, materials,
and actions receive the appropriate oversight and approval of the executive
committee and board.
- Maintaining and periodically reporting
to the executive committee and the board on activities and progress
toward outcomes in the committee’s area of interest.
The Chair of the Board of Directors appoints
a committee chair and co-chair at the beginning of their term to lead
each committee for a period of one year. There are no term limits on committee
chairs or co-chairs. All NASEO members (state and territory members and
affiliate members) should have an opportunity to serve on the committees
of their choice. Members are appointed as needed by the committee chair
and co-chair.
The chairs and members of two standing committees
are determined by the following protocol:
- The Immediate Past Chair of the Board
of Directors serves as Chair of the Nominating Committee, and members
of the committee are appointed by the chair of the committee.
- The Vice Chair of the Board of Directors
serves as Chair of the Issues Agenda Committee, and members consist
of the committee chairs and others appointed by the Chair of the Issues
Agenda Committee.
