At its May 21, 2004 meeting, the iSeek Solutions Executive Board approved the appointment of two policy Councils and two advisory committees. The formation of the Councils is a direct result of the recommendations put forth by the Board at its March retreat and is reflected in the revised organizational chart. The members of the Councils and Committees will be appointed by the Board and the appointee should be able to speak for the organization. In Accordance with Article VII A-D of the BYLAWS of iSeek Solutions all Board Members may act as exofficio members of the councils and committees.
