CASOP STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The CASOP Steering committee is comprised of a Primary and an Alternate member from each of the categories listed below.

Steering Committee members are usually nominated by their respective CASOP membership category and expected to serve for a minimum 24-month period.

In order to maintain expertise and continuity, the expectation is that the alternate member would replace the primary member and a new alternate candidate would fill the created vacancy when applicable.

Attendance to CASOP Steering committee meetings is also extended to hosts of the next CASOP Conference in order to assist in planning and preparation.
