  • Additional appointments at the discretion of the Vice-President/President-Elect and Appointments Committee.
  • The chair of the Information Literacy Frameworks and Standards Committee (ILFSC) is a voting ex-officio member.

Origin

91´«Ã½

In 2005, the Standards and Accreditation Committee was included as a component committee of the Advocacy Coordinating Committee. In 2009, it was redefined as a standalone divisional committee when the coordinating committee was reclassified as a standard committee, with no coordinating committee umbrella structure.
