Standing Committees
Standing Committees will meet a minimum of once a year and as frequently as required. Meetings will be held via tele-conference call unless specific face-to-face meeting arrangements are made. The Chair of each Standing Committee will be a member of the CPCSSN Committee and will be expected to report to the Board the activities and deliberations of their Standing Committee. Standing Committees must make recommendations to the CPCSSN Committee on all areas of decision-making. Each committee will be expected to conduct its work in keeping with the vision and mission of the CPCSSN and may find it necessary to meet jointly with other Standing Committees on occasion to discuss areas of overlap or mutual concern/interest.
