| 3 | +Committees are groups that aim to help ACM achieve and expand its overall |
| 4 | +mission by adhering to specific goals and interests. These committees operate |
5 | 5 | independently from ACM as long as their actions and interest do not conflict or |
6 | 6 | compete with ACM or other committees. Committees must have a chair, but may |
7 | | -internally have their own election procedures, governance structure, and |
8 | | -operating procedures. If there is ever a span with no chair, a vote simple |
9 | | -majority vote will occur within the S\&T Executive Board to dissolve the |
10 | | -committee. |

12 | | - \item Standing Committees |
| 7 | +internally have their own procedures and governance structure. If there is ever |
| 8 | +a point in which a committee does not have a chair, the VP-I will temporarily |
| 9 | +take over as chair, assuming all duties and responsibilities, and institute a |
| 10 | +special election for a new chair following the election procedures of the |
| 11 | +committee. After one month of the absence occurring if no chair is elected, the |
| 12 | +Executive Board will vote to dissolve the committee by making a constitutional |
| 13 | +amendment to remove the committee from the list of standing committees. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The active standing committees are as follows: |

59 | | - President, Vice President, or a simple majority vote of the Executive |
60 | | - Board. |
61 | | - \item Temporary committees will last for a maximum of one year. If the |

| 54 | +\subsection{Creating a Standing Committee} |
| 55 | +To create a standing committee (including converting a temporary committee to |
| 56 | +standing committee), the person who wishes to create the committee ('prospective |
| 57 | +chair') must submit a document to the Executive Board containing the following |
| 58 | +elements: |
| 59 | +\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., nolistsep] |
| 60 | + \item \textbf{Purpose} - What is the purpose/goal that the committee hopes to |
| 61 | + achieve? What are the benefits that this new committee would bring for ACM |
| 62 | + and for students? |
| 63 | + \item \textbf{Audience} - Who is the audience they are targeting with their |
| 64 | + purpose/goal? How do they initially plan to recruit and on-board these new |
| 65 | + members? |
| 66 | + \item \textbf{Organizational Structure} - How is the committee structured |
| 67 | + through officer positions, elections, meetings, etc.? |
| 68 | + \item \textbf{Initial Members} - A list of people who have expressed interest |
| 69 | + in joining the committee. |
| 70 | +\end{enumerate} |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +There is no length or word requirement as long as the prospective chair |
| 73 | +adequately answers these questions. The document will then be given to any S\&T |
| 74 | +ACM officer who will communicate it to the entire Executive Board. The |
| 75 | +prospective chair will then be given a chance at the next executive meeting to |
| 76 | +present this document. If the prospective chair cannot make executive meetings |
| 77 | +due to a irreconcilable conflict, a special meeting will be organized so that it |
| 78 | +can be presented. After the document is presented, the Executive Board will |
| 79 | +privately discuss the new committee and vote by creating a constitutional |
| 80 | +amendment to add the new committee. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +\subsection{Temporary Committees} |
| 83 | +\begin{enumerate} |
| 84 | + \item Temporary committees serve to accomplish long-term ACM projects or |
| 85 | + needs that may not fall under the purview or interest of a specific |
| 86 | + committee. The temporary committee follows the same operating procedures |
| 87 | + as committees mentioned above; however, temporary committee chairs do |
| 88 | + not share the voting rights of committee chairs and are not included in |
| 89 | + Executive Board majority. |
| 90 | + \item Temporary committees can be formed at the discretion of the |
| 91 | + President, Vice President, or a simple majority vote of the Executive |
| 92 | + Board. |
| 93 | + \item Temporary committees will last for a maximum of one year. If the |
| 94 | + temporary committee is necessary after one year, the Executive Board must |
| 95 | + follow the procedure above to convert it to a standing committee. |
