COMMITTEES

BSOA Bylaws allow the Board of Directors to create committees to act on their behalf on matters referred by the Board. A formal policy resolution adopted in 1997 establishes three types of Committees which may be formed by a majority vote of the Board:
  • Standing Committees – Exist until abolished by the Board;
  • Committees – Exist on an annual basis and must be renewed through Board action; and
  • Ad Hoc Committees – Exist to carry out a specific task. Ad Hoc Committees are terminated when the task is complete.

Standing Committees
