Purpose:

The purpose of these committees is to review, monitor, and help develop Association policy for presentation to membership at the annual meeting. Committee programs should enhance committee participation and unity; develop the necessary financial support; encourage individual participation in the Association; and advise the Board of Directors regarding any actions needed to be taken by the Association.

Chairmen:

The committee chairmen are appointed by the ACGA President. He may also appoint vice chairmen or co-chairmen, as needed. The committee chairmen send out calls for all interested committee members to meet when there is a need for specific action or development of policy. At the committee meetings, the policy options that are developed shall be brought to the full committee at the Convention for final approval. Also, interim policy should be developed in this manner with interim approval by the Board of Directors.

Committee Members:

Committees may be comprised of anyone interested in serving who is a current, regular, dues-paying (producer) member. Committee sign-up opportunities are solicited through the ACGA Market Report and Newsletter on an annual basis. New members should also be given information about committee sign-up. Committee members should be alert to any problems or opportunities developing and report them immediately to staff or officers. Committee members also help to inform members in their area and others that they come into contact with about the Association, its activities, and its programs. All ACGA members are invited to attend committee meetings throughout the year, however, only dues-paying (producers) members have voting privileges.

Executive Sessions:

Committee executive sessions are called by the chairmen in order to conduct business or set policy with ACGA voting members only. When a chairman calls for an executive session, all non-voting ACGA members and non-members attending the meeting will be excused. If you are a voting member but not officially assigned to the committee, you are welcome to remain at the meeting. If you wish to sign-up for a committee, notify staff and you will be added to the list.

Business Associates Committee:

This committee was established several years ago to facilitate the Business Associate members of the Associations. Co-chairmen are selected from this committee. Each will sit as an ex-officio director, one will serve on the ACGA board, the other on the ACFA board. This committee meets once a year to select their representatives to these boards. This committee also advises both the ACGA and the ACFA on matters relating to trade show and sponsorship issues.
