Mandated Standing Committees 

A committee that is required by the bylaws can only be dissolved by amending the appropriate section of the bylaws. The Board must approve the dissolution and follow the established procedures for amending the bylaws.

Other Standing Committees

A standing committee, other than the one(s) mandated by the bylaws, may be dissolved by a majority vote of the Board at any of its regularly scheduled meetings whenever circumstances indicate that the committee’s continuance is no longer relevant to or required by the association.

A committee may request its own dissolution by forwarding to the Board through the Board liaison an appropriately worded motion. The motion should indicate why the committee is no longer needed.

Task Forces

Since task forces are established for distinct, limited purposes, their charges often include or imply the specifics of their dissolution. It is customary for the chair of the task force to include in the final report a request that the task force or ad hoc committee be discharged upon the Board’s acceptance of the report.

A task force may request that it becomes a standing committee by submitting a motion to the Board through the Board liaison. The Board may also decide at any time to change the status of these groups to a standing committee.
