Chairs for Interest Committees  - These positions are not Executive Council Positions however, they are very important as these teams will lead the activities and events we sponsor.  Executive Council members may also serve as committee chairs as needed.  These committees will meet around the schedules of the students who can be involved in them.  It is preferred that chairs attend the regular SCA meetings however, committee members may be involved who cannot meet at the regular SCA meetings.   The vice president will work with committee chairs to assist them in making regular reports to the executive council and securing what they need for projects and services.  We encourage chairs to run for office during our campaign season. The Executive Council may vote to appoint new committees or committee chairs as needs arise and change throughout the year.   Chair positions can be shared by Co-Chairs provided at least one chair can attend regular SCA meetings.
