The Committee
UACES is governed by a Committee of 17 members, consisting of both elected and co-opted individuals. Co-opted Committee Members are invited to join the UACES Committee to enhance its strength and diversity. They serve for a term of one year, which is renewable. Ex-Officio Committee Members serve on the UACES Committee by virtue of holding a specific office.
