Committees

Committees are an essential part of FAPAC's operations and the fulfillment of our mission.  They contribute to its programs/services, strengthen its internal capacity, and increase FAPAC's engagement with stakeholders and members. The National Board of Operations (NBOO) includes nine standing committees established by Article IV of the FAPAC Constitution and Bylaws (Program, Public Relations, Nomination and Election, Affirmative Employment, Membership, Chapter, Conference, Constitution and Bylaws, and Ethics) and five ad hoc committees that are established on a temporary basis at the appointment of the FAPAC President. 

Committee Chairs are appointed and/or reappointed by FAPAC President and serve for a one-year term beginning in October. Chairs may be reappointment for another consecutive term, not to exceed two terms (or two consecutive years with the same committee).  All Chairs are expected to fulfill the objectives of their respective committees, attend monthly meetings, and have an active FAPAC membership.
