is for 3 years, as outlined in the current bylaws.
The representatives should have staggered terms.
A year prior to the end date, a new representative
should be identified. It is strongly preferred
that one of the two representatives be a current
fellowship program director.
- Serve as a communication vector to and from
your subspecialty member associations and societies
and the Council. Within subspecialties it will
be important to establish (with the assistance
of management) updated email lists of key leaders
of associations and societies. It is expected that
communication to individual subspecialists will
be accomplished by the various associations and
societies. All communication must be timely and
thorough.
- Collaborate strongly with the other
representative of your subspecialty regarding
issues of importance
to CoPS and your subspecialty.
- Be available for
conference calls and meetings as called by CoPS
and its working groups. Conference
calls may take place as frequently as once a
month for regular communication and more frequently
for
ad hoc issues.
- Provide links to expertise and
resources within your subspecialty associations
and societies for
the projects spearheaded by the Council.
- Vote in a timely fashion by presence, phone,
mail or electronic means as needed on council
issues.
- Be responsible for communicating
policies by the Council and providing oversight
for
the compliance
with such policies. For example, representatives
would be responsible for following up with
associations and societies within the subspecialty
if CoPS
were to establish annual dues.
- Communicate
effectively with training program directors and
existing program director
organizations
in your specialty.
