All HIBCC Committees are open to the public for participation.

A request for representation on a technical committee shall be addressed to HIBCC and shall indicate the applicant’s direct and material interest in the committee’s work, qualifications and willingness to participate actively, and, if the applicant is an organization, company or government agency, shall identify a representative (and an alternate, if desired). All requests for committee representation are subject to approval by the HIBCC Board of Directors and the committee itself.

New committee members are required to attend two consecutive meetings in order to be afforded the opportunity to vote.

In recommending appropriate action on applications for committee representations, the Board of Directors and committee shall consider the following:

• Need for active participation by each interest;
• Potential for dominance by a single interest category;
• Extent of interest expressed by the applicant and the applicant’s willingness to participate actively;
• The representative identified by the applicant organization, company or government agency;
• Consideration of reasonable limits on committee size.

Requests for participation on a technical committee should be forwarded to the HIBCC office via e-mail at info@hibcc.org.
