Who Does What?

Chair:

  • At present, that has been delegated to the LAUC-LA Chair-elect.

Secretary:

  • Prepares a list of names of who should have editorship/ownership for the LAUC-LA Handbook and which names should be deleted as editors. Forward this list to the LibGuide administrator for updating. This will include the officers (LAUC-LA Chair-elect, Secretary, committee chairs).
  • Updates committee rosters each year once committees are formed.

Committee Chairs:

  • Update timeline, as needed.
  • Update sample communications materials, as needed.
  • Update procedures, as needed.
  • Once an event sponsored by the committee is confirmed, add the event information to the LAUC-LA Calendar tab in this guide.
  • Examples:
    • LAUC and LAUC-LA election dates (Election Committee)
    • Deadlines for LAUC and LAUC-LA grants (Research and Professional Development Committee)
