PEAC Committees
Governance Committee
This committee primarily seeks ways to promote PEAC's two-fold mission:
1) To be visible and responsive to its
constituents and therefore represent all professional employees.
2) To enable the representative body of professional employees to be
fully recognized as a significant contributor to the mission of The
University of Maine.
Secondarily, this committee provides
guidance to the Board as a whole in matters of Parliamentary Procedures
and rules of order. A goal of this committee for the coming year will be
to review the Council's constitution.
