Most Committee meetings are held monthly from September to June, on the Thursday of the third week of the month with the exception of April, when meetings are held on the Thursday of the second week of the month. Meetings can be held in person or via teleconference, at the discretion of the Chair, in consultation with the committee member(s). Personal expenses incurred by committee members for attending committee meetings or distance participation are reimbursed at approved RTAM rates. Volunteers must be sufficiently conversant with current communication methods as to be capable of participating in, and assisting with, the work of the board including access to and working knowledge of email.
