Committees

Are you interested in getting involved with the MDCGC? Maybe joining a Committee or Subcommittee is right for you!

All Committees will work in collaboration with the Board of Directors and each Committee will have an appointed Board of Directors liaison. Each Committee will be made up of a Leadership team and Members. Each leader will serve for two (2) years: an individual’s first year will be served as Co-Chair then he/or she will move up to Chair for the second year.

Committee Leadership: Each Committee shall have one Chair and one Co-Chair. The Chair and Co-Chair will be Full Members of the MDCGC who will be elected by the General Membership. Each leader will serve for two (2) years: an individual’s first year will be served as Co-Chair then he/or she will move up to Chair for the second year.

Committee Membership: Any Member of the MDCGC (Full, Associate, or Student) in good standing can serve on one or more Committees. MDCGC Members who are interested in serving on a Committee will apply to the Committee Chair and Co-Chair with a statement of interest and curriculum vitae. The Committee Chair and Co-Chair will be responsible for selecting Committee Members. Applications for Committee Members will occur once a year following appointment of new Chair and Co-Chair. Committee Members will serve a two-year term. Members may apply to be re-selected to the Committee after their 2 year term is completed. Each Committee member will have one vote on business relating to that Committee.

Subcommittees of the MDCGC may be formed to fill a need as identified by the Board of Directors. Each of the subcommittees shall be housed under one of the standing committees, and may be made up of members who are also part of the standing committee or only the subcommittee. Leadership is determined among the committee and subcommittee, with the co-chair of the standing committee assuming leadership responsibilities of the subcommittee in the event that another leader is not identified.
