Committees Information
As a student organization, the Students’ Association Board Sub-Committees are very important as they complete a lot of Students’ Association work on an individual level.
The smaller size of SAB sub-committees (around 4-6 people) and more focused scope allows each committee to carry out tasks related to RRCSA’s Finances, Capital Campaigns, Scholarships, Advocacy and Elections.
Several committees have to meet at least once a month, and some other committees meet more than once a month, depending on their workload.
The SAB Voting Members nominate themselves for an open spot on the SAB Sub-Committees. The board members (excluding ex-officio) vote and elects those voting members to each committee.
