Annual Report Subcommittee
The Annual Reports Subcommittee is responsible for reviewing all
Division annual reports to determine the state of health for each division.
Divisional Status Subcommittee
The
Divisional Status Subcommittee is responsible for the initial assessment of
proposals to form a new division, to dissolve an existing division, or to merge
two or more divisions. The Subcommittee periodically evaluates the written
procedures-ACS Constitution, Bylaws, and Regulations as well as DAC procedures
and guidelines-that govern these actions and suggests changes where necessary.
The Subcommittee also monitors the Secretariats that exist for programming at
national meetings and, at the request of the full Committee, may study other
formal or informal interdivisional activities.
Divisional Enhancement Subcommittee
The Divisional Enhancement Subcommittee helps ACS Divisions meet their
objectives, providing financial support as possible. This will include
recognition of excellent divisional initiatives and funding of innovative
divisional activities. In addition, the DES will evaluate and facilitate
implementation of divisional recommendations (carried over from the "long
term planning" subcommittee). [tentative]
Constitution and Bylaws Subcommittee
The
Constitution and Bylaws Subcommittee keeps DAC apprised of petitions coming
before the Committee on Constitution and Bylaws (C&B) and the Council,
especially those that directly affect Divisions, and to present official DAC
positions on C&B matters to that Committee.
