Committees generally meet at least quarterly during the year. Board members are expected to participate as actively as they can, as these committees serve as resources to the full board. The committees review and evaluate vendors, processes, reports and documentation, and make recommendations about policies related to their particular area. Annual assignments are available each year to coordinate and work on special projects.
