Forum on Senate Committees

This presentation was made to CAPA Senators and others on December 4, 2007. The key speaker was Vickie Courtney, Coordinator in the Senate Office. The forum was meant to inform CAPA about Senate committees: what committees exist, what opportunities for P&A membership, what expectations for members, and how to apply for membership. P&A members of the Committee on Committees, past and current, spoke about how that committee makes decisions about placing individuals on the various Senate committees. Includes Q&A from the audience. (1:00 hour)
