Committee Formation

Committees are formed upon the charge of the San Francisco State University's President to achieve certain initiatives. Generally, committees have a charter or charge that establishes the priorities and responsibilities of the committee, the committee membership, and the meeting procedures. Committee members are appointed via a charge letter that sets forth expectations for involvement in the committee.

Process:

• President or Vice President sponsors initiative to form a committee

• Committee charge or charter is approved by the committee, the appropriate Vice President, and the President
• Committee working groups are established
