Committee Guidelines

EDUCAUSE member committees are of two kinds: advisory committees that contribute to particular activities and guide association strategies in various arenas, and event program committees that shape program content for specific conferences.
Because of the important role of the committees in representing the perspective of our core membership, high priority for appointments is given to primary or participating representatives of member institutions.
No person serving on the EDUCAUSE Board shall also serve on a committee, and in general a person should not serve the association in more than one capacity at any time, nor should two individuals from the same institution serve on the same committee.
Advisory committee membership will generally serve three-year terms, with one-third of the committee rotating off annually; terms begin and end at the association's annual conference. Event program committees are appointed for the planning cycle of a particular event.
All committee appointments will be made by the EDUCAUSE president, based upon recommendations from staff committee liaisons following a careful consideration of a list of volunteers as well as other sources. Chairs of the committees will also be appointed by the EDUCAUSE president, with thoughtful consideration given to recommendations of committee members and/or staff liaisons.
Most advisory committee appointments will be made approximately three months in advance of the annual conference. Newly appointed members will be added to committee listservs at that time, so that new members can prepare for their service in advance of their first committee meeting during the conference. Appointment timetables for event program committees are contingent on the planning process for the specific event.
All advisory committees will hold meetings at least once a year during the annual conference, with travel expenses being covered by individual members. Some committees meet more than once, with additional meetings usually held at the EDUCAUSE office in Boulder. Expenses entailed in traveling to non-conference meetings will be reimbursed by EDUCAUSE in accordance with current Travel Expense Policies .
Committees may also conduct business via listservs, conference calls, and secure Web sites, all of which are supported by EDUCAUSE.
Committees may make recommendations to EDUCAUSE management through their staff liaisons following their annual meetings and throughout the year through listserv discussions.
