While this has worked in the past, it becomes more complicated as the work of the commission has grown. The idea behind this proposal is to organize around what the work actually is rather than which program it’s attached to. That way, members can develop real depth in a specific type of work, we can capitalize upon members’ talents and interests and we’re not reinventing the wheel every time a new program cycle starts. Proposed Structure: Three Standing Subcommittees Instead of one subcommittee per program, this proposal establishes three subcommittees organized by function. Every program would still receive the attention it need [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]

While this has worked in the past, it becomes more complicated as the work of the commission has grown. The idea behind this proposal is to organize around what the work actually is rather than which program it’s attached to. That way, members can develop real depth in a specific type of work, we can capitalize upon members’ talents and interests and we’re not reinventing the wheel every time a new program cycle starts. The basic idea: three subcommittees Instead of one subcommittee per program, we’d have three subcommittees organized by function. Every program would still get the attention it needs — it’s just that the same people who plan one exhibition would also plan the others, the same people who create the grant application would create the fellowship application, and so on.
