TLC Update & Call for Volunteers An updated Terms of Reference for the Technical Liaison Committee (TLC) was approved by the CITE Board of Directors at their June 2018 meeting in Edmonton. The purpose of the update was to focus the TLC on its mandate to coordinate and oversee CITE’s technical projects and policy development. The evolution of our partnerships with both TAC and ITE International has emphasized the importance of this coordination role for the TLC. The new Terms of Reference appoints four members, two of whom will be focused on coordination with TAC and CITE’s appointees to the various TAC standing committees, and two of whom will be focused on coordination with ITE International and CITE’s representatives on the Council Executive Committees and the Coordinating Council. The general mandate of the TLC to ensure that CITE members have the opportunity to participate in technical projects remains. The updated Terms of Reference were prepared by the outgoing Chair and Vice Chair of the TLC, Dwayne Cross and Kerra Mruss, together with CITE President Edward Soldo and Vice President Julia Salvini. The CITE Executive is looking to fill the four TLC positions starting in the fall of 2018. If you are a CITE member who is interested in participating on the committee, please submit to VicePresident@cite7.org by August 17, 2018: • a letter expressing your interest and the skills you would bring to the committee, • an indication of support from your employer, and • a resume. TLC members are appointed for two year terms, renewable up to a maximum of six years. They are expected to attend at least one and usually two face-to-face meeting(s) per year, attend at least three conference calls per year, and assist in the ongoing coordination of technical projects that CITE is involved in. Expenses are expected to be covered by the employer but may be partially subsidized by CITE depending on budget availability and priorities. Preference in choosing TLC members will be given to TAC appointees and appointees to ITE Council Executive Committees, but other interested CITE members are also encouraged to apply. If you have any questions about the volunteer positions with TLC, please feel free to contact me. We look forward to hearing from you!
