Summary

Members revised the student leadership SOP to tighten language, replace ‘graduation’ with ‘completion ceremony,’ and asked the governance/PEC process to decide whether to expand student representative slots; chair said the governance manual should list the liaison the chair nominates annually.

Committee members reviewed a draft standard operating procedure for the student leadership development program and proposed wording and role clarifications.

Committee member (S3) said the draft benefits from tighter phrasing and noted the single substantive change was replacing the word “graduation” with “completion ceremony.” Members discussed whether a service project should remain a required element of the program; the committee agreed to check with Mister Jackson about whether the service project will continue and to allow language to state “other activities may occur” if that is preferable.

Members raised that the SOP should explicitly include a role for the student representative because that position interacts substantially with the student leadership group. Committee member (S3) and others said broader decisions about the number of student representatives should be addressed through PEC before changing the SOP. Chair (S1) said the governance manual should reflect that the chair nominates a liaison each year and that the SOP should point to that governance placement rather than replace it.

The committee asked members to bring additional redlines and agreed to return the edited drafts to the full board at the next meeting.
