Committee on Committees
(Established April 1974)
This committee is composed of one member from each section, who is not an
officer, and two Councillors, one of whom serves as chairperson. The
Councillors serve on the committee for the duration of their terms on
Council.
The purposes of this advisory committee are to make recommendations for
nominees to the standing committees following consultation with sections,
thus allowing the latter to have a direct relationship with the affairs of
the Society; and to review committee functions and recommend changes when
appropriate.
Because of the importance of the Finance, Joint Program, and Publications
Committees, the Committee on Committees will send its recommendations to the
Executive Cabinet, which will interview members for the chairmanship and
submit its recommendations to Council.
Members of Council (including the three Presidents) shall not be
appointed to committees unless required by the Bylaws.
Members of committees may not be reappointed unless there is a very good
reason, such as the person is to become chairperson or Council so directs.
Members shall not serve on more than one committee, unless the Bylaws or
Council requires it, such as liaison or ex officio cross appointments.
Duties of the Committee on Committees are to:
-
Review the charges of the various committees with regards to
overlapping responsibilities and propose changes to Council when
appropriate.
-
Ensure that there is adequate section representation on
appropriate committees.
-
Send letters and nomination forms to the chairpersons of APS
committees and sections and to members of the Association of Chairs of
Departments of Physiology requesting nominations for committee
appointments.
-
Acknowledge receipt of all nominations.
-
Notify annually each candidate not selected for committee
appointment if he/she wishes to remain on file.
-
Select nominees to fill committee vacancies using alternates
previously nominated.
-
Meet at the spring meeting to select nominees for committee
vacancies for submission to Council at its second yearly meeting.
