AAHSL Committee and Task Force Manual

Official Statements

Official publications and statements issued by committees/task forces and other AAHSL supported entities must be reviewed and approved by the board before being distributed, especially documents being published on the Web or distributed to external organizations. Similarly, it is important that committees do not speak for the association in an official policymaking capacity, unless clearly instructed to do so by the Board of Directors. All committees report to the board. Usually the president and board issue policy and PR statements, and send letters to legislators, national leaders, and other professional associations on behalf of members. Committees and task forces may recommend that the Board consider endorsing various statements, positions, or letters, by submitting their request to their Board liaison and the AAHSL president.

All news releases and other AAHSL publicity items are cleared through the Board
