The Ad Hoc Committee met with the current MMA Advisory Committee on February 28, 2001 to determine the validity, and need for the Advisory Committee. Based on tins recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee, the MMA Executive Committee will put fold to the memberhip an amendment to the MMA By-laws that would abolish the MMA Advisory Committee effective as of the MMA Annual Business Meeting, Qtober 10, 2001. The recommendation is based on the recognition that the establishment of the MMA Legislative Policy Committee In the early 1970's has msutted in significant change to the policymaking Process and committee functions within the Association; as a result, the nature and function of the b9NA Advisory Committee has also changed over time; and, the belief that the Assaciation will be better served by the appointment of special committees for specific purposes as the need arises salver than a single permanent standing committee. Since the membership will not vote on the future sterns of the MMA Advisory Committee until the MMA Annual Business Meeting, the MMA Nominating Committee is obligmed to put fold a proposed slate of officer to serve a two-year man in case the By-law Amendment does not - pass.
