Committees
The President of the AABIP, who oversees committee functions during a two-year tenure, appoints committee chairs. Each year, the committee chair develops an action plan that is shared with the membership. Committee chairs are asked to report back to the AABIP membership during a general business meeting held after the yearly scientific meeting.
Committee Standard Operating Procedures:
- All AABIP Committees and Subcommittees are expected to establish a regular monthly meeting cadence that is to be expanded as needed to meet the workload.
- All meetings will be scheduled through the AABIP Meeting Platform unless an exception to policy is required.
- All AABIP Committees and Subcommittees are responsible for preparing all necessary external communication for review and approval by the Public Relations Subcommittee of the Executive Committee.
- Except for the Executive committee that is selected by election and the nominating committee that elects its Chair, All Chairs should plan for a 2-4 year transition plan. Chairs are responsible for creating and maintaining a succession plan that approved by the Executive Committee and includes identifying, mentoring and coaching the next chair.
