1630 - Commission on the Accreditation of Programs in Applied and Clinical Sociology (CAPACS) Annual Board Meeting

Session Submission Type: Affiliated Group Session

Description

CAPACS is requesting meeting space (preferably a conference room) that will accommodate its Board, composed of eighteen (18) domestic and international Commissioners and one (1) representative from the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS). CAPACS conducts a full business agenda at its Annual Board Meeting, including Officer reports (Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer); reports of its standing and ad hoc committees (e.g., Outreach, Marketing, Website, and Logos and Brands Committees); updates on the accreditation and re-accreditation activities and status of its accredited programs; a review of inquiries from prospective applicant-programs; an annual assessment of its documents (e.g. Bylaws, Standards, Policies and Procedures, and Review Process Manual); a discussion of new business, items for the good of the order; and the planning of training workshops for new Board Members, who serve as reviewers on Accreditation Review Committees (ARCs) and auditors on Site Visit Teams (SVTs).

CAPACS Board Meetings generally run for four (4) hours. Historically, ASA has scheduled a time slot from 6:30 to 8:15 pm, and permitted the Commission to meet through 10:30 pm, on either the first or third evenings of the ASA Annual Meeting, provided there are no conflicts with other requests for meeting space and Practice Section activities. These dates and time slots are when most Commissioners are available to meet apart from their obligations to the ASA Annual Meeting, such as attending or participating in ASA sessions and other scheduled activities.
