IPCSA REPRESENTATIVE COMMITTEE

ANNUAL PLAN FOR 2007

Chair: Frank Morelli, Lake County

Members:       Twenty-nine (29) members representing 16 IPCSA Committees.

Committee objectives:

            The Representative Committee serves in an advisory capacity to the Executive Board, and to promote coordination among the Association’s committees for the purpose of joint planning and program development for IPCSA. 

Review of Objectives for 2006:

In review of the goals for 2006 many were met.  Submission of Annual plans were made by 16 of the 17 committees.  Newsletter submissions by committees was not as consistent as in past years.  Many committee chairs have attributed this to increased work load and less time available to commit to IPCSA.  Committees Chairs have been encouraged to delegate more of their responsibilities to other committee members.     Committee Chairs have also been encouraged to look for future leadership among their current committee chairs.  

Objectives for 2007:   A goal given to the Representative Committee for 2007 by the Executive Board is for committees to take a more active role in discussing issues, take a legislative position and have an impact on issues that effect our profession.
