A number of seats on various CSHA committees are up for appointment this year, with terms starting July 1, 2021. Applications are due by April 9, 2021. CSHA board approval of appointments will take place at the board’s June 25 meeting.

You must be a CSHA member to serve on a CSHA committee. Non-members are encouraged to join the association and submit an application.

There are two types of committees: board committees and operational committees. Board committees support the strategic work of the board and may include both members and non-members of the board. The exception to this policy, in terms of committee makeup, is the Board Governance Committee. Because this committee has the authority to act on behalf of the board of directors, California Law requires that only sitting board members may serve on this committee.

Operational committees are established to enhance the operational work of the association in support of board-established priority impacts. These committees are advisory in nature.

Representatives to the board include:

• SLPA representative: The incoming CSHA board chair shall appoint a SLPA representative. The term of the SLPA representative is one year, coinciding with the CSHA board chair’s term of office.
• SLPA representative qualifications:
• Must be a member of CSHA.

• Student representatives: The incoming CSHA board chair shall appoint two student representatives, one from Northern California and one from Southern California. The two representatives will coordinate and collaborate on their participation. The term of the student representatives is one year, coinciding with the CSHA board chair’s term of office.
