Restructuring the Committee Framework for Enhanced Collaboration and Efficiency

The Task Committee on Committee Restructuring (TCCR) aims to address significant challenges posed by an overwhelming span of control, with 26 standing committees and multiple task committees causing compartmentalization and lack of collaborative vision. As highlighted in the July 19, 2012 report, a function-driven structure will promote synergy and effective collaboration on major issues. TCCR proposes a review of committee structures starting in 2016, with term limits and required committee reports to the Board, ensuring ongoing efficiency and active engagement in program and product development by members.

  2. TCCR Report 7-12 • TCCR was created because: • Too large a “span of control” with 26 standing committees reporting to the Board AND multiple task committees each year • Board not engaging with / guiding its committees • Too much compartmentalization – no group looking at big picture issues as responsibility is spread too widely • Need for effective collaboration on big picture issues • TCCR created a Function Driven structure • staff driven function = committee sunset, administrative oversight assigned elsewhere (ExCom, Program and Finance) • Society program and product development and delivery by members • grouping like activities within a revised Society committee structure for synergy, increased collaboration
