Membership Guidelines
DISC has a tradition of overlapping co-chairs, where co-chair terms are two years and overlap for one year, so that an incoming co-chair supports the chair who’s had the role for the previous year, and then takes the lead in the following year. On July 12, 2017 the Committee decided that in order to re-establish the long-standing tradition of chair rotation and co-chairs our new Secretary will become co-chair next year. Every year DISC will appoint a new Secretary, and after the Secretary’s annual appointment is over he/she will become a co-chair in the following year. This system of rotating chairs and now the addition of the Secretary into the rotation will ensure continuity in group leadership.
[Note: The following is from the FLVC Members Council for Library Services Operating Procedures document which outlines the creation and management of all committees and task forces.]
Article III Standing and Ad Hoc Committees and Task Forces
Section A. Authority and Responsibility
Purpose: The Executive Committee shall have the authority to establish standing and ad hoc committees and task forces of the Members Council. Standing and ad hoc committees and task forces of the Members Council shall consider matters that are encompassed within the subject matters assigned to each committee and make recommendations to the Members Council. Committees must submit a written report for each Members Council meeting and have someone on hand at the meeting to answer questions.
Section B. Membership of the Standing Committees
Membership and Quorum: The Executive Committee shall have the authority to appoint and remove members of each committee. Each Committee will select a Chair and a Secretary. Committees may also have a co‐chair. A majority of committee members present at a committee meeting constitutes quorum for purposes of committee business. Committee membership is at the discretion of MCLS Executive Committee. Committee terms last for three years and begin July 1, except for the Collection Management and E‐Resources Standing Committee, whose term begins January 1. If a committee member leaves before the end of her or his term, a new member will be selected from recent committee applications or at the next selection period depending on the timing of the departure, at the discretion of the Executive Committee. Committee members are expected to attend all committee meetings.
