About the Advisory Committees: Each will have seven library directors or assistant directors as
members. Membership for each of the four committees is chosen by each county's
directors association as follows by county:
- Columbia, Greene and Putnam Counties: 1 each
- Dutchess and Ulster Counties: 2 each (one from a small library, one
from a larger library)
- Committee membership terms are 4 years. To ensure leadership is present,
terms are staggered so the entire committee will not roll over at one time.
Half of the members in each committee have a term ending December 2013, and
half will end December 2015. Committee chairs are elected by committee members
annually at their last meeting of the year. There is a term limit of three
(3) years as chair of a committee. One of the Advisory
Committee Member Responsibilities is to decide at the meeting what to
report at the monthly Director's Association meetings. Committee chairs send
agenda items to the chair of the Director's Association. There are additional
Responsibilities of the Advisory
Committee Chair and Vice Chair.
