Operations Committee Charge

This text is from the EAST Governance document (last updated September 26, 2016)

Operations Committee

The EAST Operations Committee (OC) is responsible for development, implementation, and operationalization of policies and procedures for EAST.  Any policy or procedural recommendations from the OC require the approval by the Executive Committee prior to implementation. The OC works closely with the EAST Project Team and may recommend the appointment of ad hoc Working Groups (see below) to address specific policy or procedural issues.  

The OC is a standing committee and includes 6 – 8 members with representation from both Retention and Supporting Partner institutions as well as across the diversity of the EAST membership based on type of institution, size of library collection, etc.

Individuals at EAST members self-nominate for election to the Operations Committee.  The final roster is approved by the Executive Committee and elected by the Voting Members via a simple majority.  Once elected an OC member serves for two years.  Should an OC member leave an EAST institution or be unwilling or unable to serve, the Executive Committee will appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of that member’s term.
