Councils

The AACPDM offers an opportunity to participate in a Committee or a Council.  Councils are similar to Committees, but the terms of service, objectives, and reporting structures can differ based on the unique nature of the Council Charge. Below you will find the list of all AACPDM Councils.

Insufficient Participation:

A variety of circumstances might contribute to insufficient participation in Council activities. Insufficient participation includes:

• Inadequate attendance/participation in conference calls/meetings (i.e., defined as missing more than 1 out of 3 meetings). Members should notify the Chair if unable to attend a conference call/meeting;
• Non-completion of assigned tasks.

Anyone unable to fulfill the obligations of the Council membership due to insufficient participation may be excused by the Chair and the Second Vice President to make room for another member. The member will receive written notification from the Chair to relieve them of their responsibilities.
