Committees

Committees are composed of Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Trainees who typically serve an average of a 1 year term. Individuals who are at the end of their term are replaced by Trainees who either volunteer to serve on that Committee, or are recruited by the individual who is to step down. Committees are comprised of individuals who join at different times in order to maintain a number of "experienced" core members and not replace all members simultaneously with the intention of retaining the knowledge and experiences from the past for future endeavors.
