National board of directors
COMMITTEE and CHAIRS

The Executive Committee is comprised of the Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, and each member is elected by the board for a two-year term. This committee oversees the activities of all SPE committees and acts on behalf of the board when it is not in session. The Chairperson works closely with the Executive Director and directs the activities of all board committees. The Vice Chairperson advises the board in setting goals for the society, supervises long-term planning and chairs the Steering Committee, which reviews current policies and programs in light of the society’s changing needs. The Treasurer of SPE works on fundraising, and chairs the Finance Committee. The Secretary is responsible for taking the minutes of the board meetings and preparing them for publication in the newsletter. Members of the Executive Committee convene three times each year in March, August and January.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for the annual fall elections of the Board of Directors, including soliciting names of potential candidates from the membership and formulating a provisional slate.

The Steering Committee advises the board in setting goals and supervises long-range planning in response to the society’s changing needs.

The Publications Committee oversees the production of all SPE publications, recommends and edits articles and projects for publication.

The Conference Committee oversees the planning and development of the national conference programming.

The Regional Affairs Committee includes the eight regional chairpersons. It serves as liaison to the regions, and recommends policies and procedures relating to regional matters.
