Guest Tonia Posted January 18, 2018 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 at 08:34 PM Can a non member of a committee oversee a standing agenda item. Example: Monthly meeting Safety Committee. The monthly reporting data for the Good Catch program is a subcommittee of the Safety Committee. The person that oversees the Good Catch program is no longer a member of the Safety Committee. Can this non member still oversee the subcommittee and have some one else report the data.

Joshua Katz Posted January 18, 2018 at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 at 08:51 PM I do not know what you mean by "oversee a standing agenda item." In particular, I don't follow 'oversee.' Can you clarify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tonia Posted January 18, 2018 at 09:01 PM Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 at 09:01 PM It is basically a standing subcommittee that meets separately monthly. This subcommittee consists of members of the Safety Committee. They accept nominations for the Good Catch Award, selects the winner and reports the minutes from this subcommittee to the Safety Committee. This person is the Lead Chair on the subcommittee, but no longer is a member of the main Safety Committee. is this appropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted January 18, 2018 at 09:16 PM Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 at 09:16 PM If it is truly a subcommittee, its members need to be drawn from the parent committee. But that depends on how it was established. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that depends on how it was established. The society could authorize the subcommittee to include members who are not members of the committee. ”Subcommittees must consist of members of the committee, except when otherwise authorized by the society in cases where the committee is appointed to take action that requires the assistance of others.” (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 497) 2 hours ago, Guest Tonia said: It is basically a standing subcommittee that meets separately monthly.
