Volunteer with EACUBO

Would you like to expand your network of professional colleagues? And at the same time, contribute to the professional development of your profession? Volunteering your time and talents with an EACUBO Committee is a terrific opportunity for you to do both.

EACUBO has 13 standing committees of three different types :

This committee develop program content for EACUBO’s professional development activities:

  • Program Committee
  • Senior Business Officer Roundtable
The chair and vice chair of this committee oversee the three major EACUBO professional development programs to ensure that the Association's professional development goals are being met.  EACUBO has adopted a competency framework to guide its professional development, and the committee ensures those competencies are covered in the program offerings.

Constituent Committees:

The constituent committees represent our member institutions across the 4 major constituent groups. (Note: Effective October, 2006 the constituent groups of EACUBO now match the constituent classifications of NACUBO.

  • Research
  • Comprehensive
  • Small Institutions
  • Community Colleges

The constituent committees address issues unique to their institution type as well as current ‘hot’ issues, and work with the programming committees listed above to ensure that constituent interests are being addressed. Additionally, each constituent committee typically holds a roundtable, panel, or other session at the Annual Meeting for their respective members.

Committees’ Interaction with Board:

Each of the EACUBO committees works closely with the Board of Directors and has a Board member who serves as a liaison and a member of the respective committee. Most committees meet in the cyber world several times during the year (on average quarterly, more frequently for some of the programming committees) by conference call, and conduct their business through the extensive use of email, as well as committee listservs and the posting of minutes on the EACUBO website.

The Board of Directors typically holds 2 planning retreats each year. The chairs and vice chairs of all committees may be invited to participate in there retreats to assist in defining the priorities and projects for the coming year. There is also a committee orientation held at the Annual Meeting where committee responsibilities and expectations are outlined.
