What are Committees and the difference between a Select and Standing Committee?
Committees are a smaller group of students in the Tiffin College Democrats that are working together towards one specific goal or task for the TCD. Committees can be created for specific events or can be more general to work towards a set goal like driving engagement.
Select Committees are ones that are temporary. After their specific task is completed they dissolve unless reauthorized by the TCD. Select committees are primarily used for events but could be used in the event an officer is under investigation to be impeached among other reasons.
Standing Committees are ones that continue to stand and operate until a vote to dissolve them is taken by the TCD. These committees can be used for tasks that never have a set end or are reoccurring event among other reasons.
Any voting member of the Tiffin College Democrats can join any of the committees that has not placed a cap on membership by contacting the chairperson of the committee you wish to join expressing your interest.
