Meetings
The Board will convene formally with the department faculty once each year at the Annual meeting. It
is hoped that there will be interaction throughout the year with Board members and that these
individuals wil1 serve as key contacts for their companies. In addition to the regular Annual meeting
held each year, special meetings may be called by the chair. The Board normally acts as a committee
of the whole, but subcommittees may be appointed by the chair to undertake specific assignments, such
as ABET and graduate research issues.
The chair, in collaboration with the head, sets the dates for Board meetings. The Department is
responsible for arrangements and, in collaboration with the chair, prepares the agendum for each
meeting and mails it to all Board members at least ten days prior to each meeting. At the end of each
meeting, the Board makes suggestions for the agendum for the next meeting.
