STRUCTURE: Three elected officers, functioning as the Executive Committee, facilitate the PAC: Chair, Chair-elect, & immediate Past Chair. Election of the Chair-elect takes place annually as part of the June meeting, by a simple majority vote. Naming of Committee Chairs to advance new & ongoing PAC initiatives for the next academic year also takes place at the June meeting.
The Executive Committee makes decisions on issues arising between PAC meetings that require timely response, including discretionary spending within established budget limits.
Architecture Department staff members attend PAC meetings, assist with PAC event coordination & communication, & provide administrative support & liaison to the Department including updates to the Department web site.
FINANCES: Department staff deposits monies collected from annual PAC sponsorship payments, events, contributions, & other sources in an account administered by the Department. The Chair-elect reports on the account status at each regular Council meeting. The Council may act (with a quorum of 5 Council participants) to disburse funds for support of activities consistent with the PAC mission & objectives, based on a simple majority vote.
