1.  Members of standing committees (excluding the Scholarship Committee) shall be appointed by Council executive officers. In addition to representatives, Council officers may appoint persons outside Council to serve on standing committees. The term of service shall be two years. 

 2.  Each committee will elect its own Chairperson at the first meeting of the year, which will be convened by the Vice Chairperson of Council. 

 3.  A budget will be available for each committee for promotion and purchase of items needed for SSC events.  Once the budget for a committee is approved by full Council, the Chair of the committee will have authority to make expenditures from within the budget. If a purchase will cause the committee’s budget to be overdrawn, the Committee Chair is expected to bring the issue to the Executive Committee for approval prior to the purchase.  The expense will be reported at the next regular Council meeting.

4.  Final drafts of committee proposals require Council approval.

5. Standing committees will submit minutes from each meeting to the Secretary of Council.

6. Each standing committee will, upon request, act as a resource to the other standing committees or Council.

7. Each standing committee will submit an annual report of activities for inclusion in the Support Staff Council Annual Report.

Failure to abide by the above provisions may result in the committee chairperson and/or committee members being removed and the selection of a new committee chairperson and/or members by the Executive Committee.
