SR 1995-1 RESCINDED 4/04 OUTREACH PROGRAM
SR 1995-2 SENIOR ADVISORY PANEL
A Senior Advisory Panel has been established to provide Seniors with an opportunity to continue to share their experiences with the members of the Eastern Component for our mutual benefit.
When a regular member requests a change of status to senior active or senior retired, the Secretary shall send the applicant a Change of Membership Status form which shall indicate his or her desire to be placed on the Senior Advisory Panel. The Secretary shall maintain a list of the panel members and indicated committee preferences. Each year the panel shall be reviewed and as new senior members are added, their committee preference shall be indicated.
The President shall use this list to make committee assignments to the following committees:
1. Academic Credentials Committee
2. Awards Committee
3. By-laws Committee
4. Examination Committee
5. Local Arrangements Committee
6. Mentor Committee
7. Program Committee
The President may appoint a senior to serve on a committee in one of three categories:
Seniors could serve well as a Consultant on any of the listed committees. As a Consultant, the senior serves in an advisory capacity and does not interfere with the normal flow of members through the Committee. A senior can serve consecutive terms as a Consultant.
Seniors could serve as an active member of every committee except the Examination Committee. The Examination Committee is the only committee where it would be ill advised to appoint a senior as an active member. The committee is usually used as a progression for younger members to advance towards an officer position in the Society.
Senior members would be ideal choices for Chairperson of the Local Arrangements and Outreach programs since they have the experience, contacts and time to carry out these responsibilities. In the future assignment of these seniors to chair these committees could become standard protocol.
The Senior selected as an active member or as a Consultant on a committee should have the approval of the chairman. If serving on or consulting for the Academic, Credential, Examination, Local Arrangements or Outreach Committee, the Senior accepts the responsibility of attending the annual meeting.
