Call for Applications: Professional Development Committee

AISES is currently seeking individuals to serve on the Professional Development Committee. AISES committees are small groups that carry out tasks on behalf of the AISES Board of Directors. Committee work increases the efficiency of AISES administration. Multiple committees can focus simultaneously on their respective areas of work, with final decisions made by the Board on the basis of the committee work. THE DEADLINE FOR APPLYING IS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. Please read on for additional information.

Committee Structure

Each committee is led by a committee chairperson who is also an AISES Board member. Committee members may be AISES general members, AISES associate members, or non-members who possess expertise applicable to a particular committee function. The chairperson of each committee is responsible for appointment of members to his/her respective committee.

Committee Member Duties and Responsibilities

Committee members are expected to attend all committee meetings and will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Committee members can expect to spend approximately five to ten hours per month on committee-related activities including meetings. Most committee meetings will be via conference call although there may be on-site meetings during the in-person meetings of the full Board of Directors. Committee members, with the exception of the chair, do not participate directly in Board meetings but rather work to address issues and make recommendations that are presented to the Board of Directors during Board meetings.
