Committees and Task Forces
Committees, either standing or non-standing, are established by the board based on a perceived need for an ongoing study/work group on behalf of the entire membership. Standing committees are in existence as a result of the organization's Bylaws and continue until the Bylaws are amended. Non-standing committees are considered to be those special committees that are established by the board. See General Guidelines for Committees and Their Chairs for more information. Task forces are established by the president to accomplish an identified objective. See General Guidelines for Task Forces and Their Chairs.
