A welcome from the president
That’s where we need your help. SPC maintains a series of advisory committees to provide oversight and make sure our educational programs remain on-point and effective. You and the other people who serve on these committees provide a critically important role in making sure our programs meet the needs of students and employers alike. So, thank you for agreeing to serve your community as a member of one of SPC’s advisory committees. Please know that the time and energy you invest in your committee work makes it possible for SPC to develop and maintain programs that are the life blood of Pinellas County’s economy. Bill Law |
Committee Meetings
Advisory committees meet at least twice annually. Additional meetings may be called as needed for effective program coordination. Meeting Minutes A central file is maintained in the office of the senior vice president of Academic and Student Affairs. This file serves as a monitoring system for the president to evaluate the effectiveness of the program advisory committees. Meeting Notices and Agendas The chairman, in collaboration with the program administrator, prepares notices of meetings and agendas. The program administrator distributes the meeting notice and agenda before the meeting date. Committe Leadership The committee’s leadership is composed of a chairman and the program’s administrator. These individuals form a core team that leads the committee in its activities.
The advisory committee membership elects a chairman. This person serves for one year. As the elected leader of the committee, the chairman presides over the committee’s meetings and is the committee’s spokesperson. The chairman sets committee meeting dates and agendas, coordinating with the program’s administrator. Role of the administrator The program administrator acts as staff administrator to the committee and the program spokesperson. Working with the chairman, the program administrator provides information and advice about college rules and procedures. The program administrator is responsible for the distribution of all copies of meeting notices, agendas and minutes to all members, including ex-officio members and site administrators. |
Responsibility An advisory committee plays an important role in maintaining and expanding the programs of the college by performing five major functions:
Each committee is comprised of five to 25 persons. Ex-officio members of the committees include the senior vice president of Academic and Student Affairs or appointed representatives, plus program faculty and staff. Purpose The function of an advisory committee is to make recommendations to assist program personnel and other administrators in developing and improving program effectiveness. All recommendations submitted by the committee will be considered. A report from the college about the actions taken and the reasons for those actions will be returned to the advisory committee members. Length of Service Advisory committee members are appointed to serve one-year terms beginning July 1 of the current year and ending on June 30 of the following year. To ensure continuity of the committee’s activities, members may be reappointed to serve additional terms. Advisory Committee Liaisons Directory View the Advisory Committee Liaisons Directory.
