Overview
We are trying to organize our work around some larger topics of interest as it relates to ACT / Flexible ACT. Below, we list the six (6) Standing Committees and three (3) Task Groups and seek to understand your level of interest in participating, including chairing, these committees.
GACTA operational framework:
- Level 1: General membership meetings occur 4 times a year via zoom starting in 2025 (General Assembly Meetings).
- Level 2: Any member may volunteer to join a Steering Committee; acceptance will be subject to the needs of the committee and at the discretion of the Chair of the particular committee. Meeting frequency, terms of service, and maximum committee membership numbers are not specified and are at the discretion of the respective chairs. Client/family representation on each committee is important. (Chairs of the committees to be constituted in 2024 are to initially be drawn from the current interim Steering Committee. Chairs may subsequently be selected/endorsed by the Governing Council and can be drawn from anyone holding general membership who wishes to volunteer.)
- Level 3: The Chairs of all Standing Committees shall as a group constitute the Governing Council. The Governing Council shall have authority to constitute or dissolve committees, create time-limited Ad-Hoc Committees, make decisions about day-to-day operational matters, determine operational directions and priorities, consult with the General Assembly and all committees, create expert advisory groups, and all other such matters as serve the goals of the association.
