"The Scientific Steering Committee shall be a permanent committee of the PALISI Network. The purpose of the Scientific Steering Committee is to offer a scientific review of grant proposals, new ideas, surveys, and manuscripts submitted by PALISI members. The Chair of the Scientific Steering Committee and a Vice-Chair will be nominated by the Executive Committee Chair, from the Scientific Steering Committee members elected by the membership at large every three years. Members of the Scientific Steering Committee shall include the Chair of each approved PALISI subgroup. Three additional Scientific Steering Committee members will be elected from the membership-at-large in conjunction with the regular election of EC members. Scientific Steering Committee members serve three-year terms and are eligible for re-election for a total of two consecutive terms. The Scientific Steering Committee Chair and Vice-Chair may appoint temporary ad hoc members of the Scientific Steering Committee as needed for the review of proposals or manuscripts for which they have special expertise." - PALISI Network Bylaws
