from [log in to unmask] I am interested in hearing from those of you who have advisory committees to facilitate the work of your language center. I will soon be in a situation where I will have the opportunity to form such a committee as well as the terms of reference for the committee. My initial perusal of the usual sources (ManMan, Journal issues, this listserv) turned up less than I expected on the subject. While I would naturally like to look at this question from a "best practices" standpoint, I'd also like to hear about what to avoid as well. Specifically, if those of you with an advisory committee could speak to any of the following: * the mandate of the committee * the time frame - frequency of meetings / percentage of meetings online vs. f2f /etc. * the resources required - staff, expenses, equipment * the powers of the committee - authority and limitations * accountability - reporting lines, to whom, in what form - reports, studies, minutes * potential membership - who selects, selection criteria * communications process - who should hear about the committee, how should information be communicated, etc. * evaluation format - how to measure effectiveness of the committee While I think this discussion would benefit the entire list, I would also welcome any private responses.
