Criteria for Elements of Enrichment Membership

The Elements of Enrichment Committee seeks to develop and sustain a talented and diverse core membership of 12 individuals from within the organization to act as leaders in developing and presenting on topics at our annual meeting critical to the overall success and well-being of AUCCCD members.

This is achieved by seeking nominations (self and other) from within the organization of individuals who exemplify characteristics as described in the E of E Membership criteria. At each annual mid-year planning meeting, current core members review interest statements and letters of support from all applicants and decide who will be invited to join the core group based on several factors. These include the number of open slots (2 open slots will be filled in 2024), the strength of each candidate as it relates to E of E criteria, and sustaining diversity within the core group in terms of identity diversity, university size and location and professional discipline.

Core group members commit to serve for a three-year term with an option to renew for one additional term of up to three years.

Nominations (self and others) should all be forwarded to us by April 10, 2024.
