How long is a committee appointment?
Committee membership is for three years. However, if a committee member is appointed as the committee vice chair or chair, that person can be reappointed for up to four additional years (two as vice chair and two as chair). The time commitment is dependent on how much you want to engage. The entire PAC meets face to face Sunday afternoon at the Annual Meeting with other opportunities for engagement throughout the year. If appointed as vice chair or chair, there are additional time commitments necessary, including the Leadership meeting in June.
When would I be appointed?
The committee membership year begins throughout the year. Although the committee year is tied to the Annual Meeting, PAC activities occur throughout the year.
