ADVISORY

 

I came, I say, I conquered... - Julius Caesar

Once FORUM is over, the job of the FORUM chair continues.  As one of the post FORUM responsibilities, the FORUM chair must  sit on the FORUM Advisory Committee for a duration of one year to ensure that FORUM progressively improves year to year.  

As stated in the AIAS National Bylaws, the committee is outlined as follows:

  • There shall be a FORUM Advisory Committee, composed of the Executive Director, the immediate past FORUM chair, the President, Vice President, and any others deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors.

  • The FORUM Advisory Committee shall act in an advisory capacity to the FORUM chair on issues relating to the development and implementation of FORUM.  The FORUM Advisory Committee's activities shall be reflected in written reports given by the FORUM chair at the National Board of Directors meetings. At the end of the FORUM chair's FORUM, he/she shall evaluate the organization's official policy for FORUM and make suggestions and recommendations to the National Board of Directors.

  • The FORUM Advisory Committee will meet twice per year: (1) at a designated time in the spring semester, and (2) at a designated time in the fall semester, prior to FORUM.  The meeting in the fall shall be attended by the next year's FORUM chair.

  • The funding for the FORUM Advisory Committee shall be outlined in the AIAS budget.

  • Members of the FORUM Advisory Committee, with the exception of the Executive Director, shall be appointed for a one-year term.

Although, the FORUM chair only sits on the Board of Directors for a one year term, his or her position lasts from the moment the bid is won through FORUM until the conclusion of his or her position on the Advisory Committee.  This time period spans over three and a half years.
