Date: 2 March 2014 Subject: Report of Special Review Committee Submitted by: William B. Harrison The objective of the Special Review Committee is to determine administrative and management effectiveness of Region 3 Standing Committees. The responsibilities of the committee include annual review of one or two of the region’s standing committees. The period of performance for the review is the committee's previous six years. Two major reviews will be undertaken this year: 1. The Education Activities Committee will be reviewed during 2014. 2. The Region 3 Delegate/Director has asked the Special Review Committee to conduct a review/study of the role and effectiveness of the Region’s Area Chairman Positions. We anticipate completing both reviews prior to the next Region 3 ExCom meeting. We will also prepare an update of the schedule of future reviews contained in the Periodic Review of Region Standing Committees section of the Region 3 Operations Manual.
