Committee Appointments

Committee members will generally serve 2-year terms, with one-third of the committee rotating off annually. Three committee members serve continuously due to their job responsibilities. Committee members may serve a second successive term to ensure continuity of operations. This practice is being adopted to ensure ongoing inclusion of new voices in the TULUP diversity and inclusion conversation.

Any TULUP staff member is eligible to apply for service to this committee. Service on this committee involves committing considerable time and effort. Interested staff members should consult with their supervisors and, if necessary, seek their approval before applyingapplying. All applications will be reviewed by the current committee and new committee appointments will be made by the committee chairs.

Because of the important role of the committee in representing the perspective of TULUP, high priority for appointments is given to applications that may be the sole or participating representatives of as many departments represented as possible. In addition, maintaining a good professional/support staff ratio will be considered when determining appointments.

Committee appointments will be made in June for the term starting in the new fiscal year. Newly appointed members will be added to committee listservs lists at that time of onboarding, so that new members can prepare for their service in advance of their first committee meeting.
