Committees of PATS for 1999


    The Constitution of the Professional Association for Technological Studies designates a number of working committees,  both standing and select.  Following is a list of the current committees of PATS, each of which may have subcommittees. Standing Committees shall have a permanent status within the organization. Select Committees shall be formed when deemed appropriate by the President, and shall serve a specific use for a specific and temporary period of time. The President and Vice President jointly have supervisory power (i.e., oversight, not necessarily chairship) over the general conduct of all committees (with the exception of the Executive Steering Committee) and will be the chief liaisons with the specific chairpersons of all committees. 

    The  Executive Steering Committee is composed of the officers of the organization and guides the overall, strategic direction and activities of  PATS and its committees. 

    The Presentations Committee is responsible for our campus wide interdisciplinary technology panels or speaking events, provides mini-workshops on topics such as how to construct a Program of Study or a Web page, offers assistance to both students and the department regarding presentations at technology related conferences (such as the annual ITEA or the T3 conferences), and is involved in other presentational activities concerning technology in its many forms in relation to society, the environment, etc. 
     
    The Social Committee is responsible for planning and hosting such events as our fall welcome picnic, the December Holiday Party, the Spring Graduation Party, and informal get-togethers.  In addition, this committee seeks to welcome students new to the program, helping them to get oriented.  And, members try to maintain contact with alumni. 
     
    The Communications Committee is responsible for maintaining and developing the Newsletter, Web site, Listserve, and E-News as regular sources of technology-related information for members of PATS and Technology Education.  It plans and executes all public announcements of events and provides information about the organization through brochures, fliers,  advertisement and other publications.
