Committee Member Removal or Resignation
If a member of the Committee is not performing the duties appropriately, the Committee chair
will submit a revised draft roster that recommends removal of the Committee member to the
OMB for its consideration. A two-thirds vote in favor of approving the revised draft roster by
OMB approves the removal of a Committee member.
If a member is not able or is no longer able to serve because of retirement, changes in
employment responsibilities, removal, or if he/she becomes unable to carry out the duties of a
Committee member, the member must notify AOAC staff and the Committee chair in writing
regarding their need to resign from the Committee. The Committee chair will submit a revised
draft roster that recommends removal of the Committee member to the OMB for its
consideration. A two-thirds vote in favor of approving the revised draft roster by OMB
approves the removal of a Committee member.
Upon removal, a thank you letter from the President is sent to the Committee member, with
copies sent to the Committee chair and the Official Methods Board Chair. A thank you letter is
sent if a Committee member resigns his/her appointment.
