New members shall be appointed in April and assume the responsibilities of membership at the first meeting during the fall semester of the new academic year.

Section 3:  In the event of a vacancy, the Executive Dean, in consultation with the regional campus deans, the relevant division coordinator, and the Chairperson of the RHEFDC, shall appoint another member to complete the term. If the length of the term remaining is one year or less, the member appointed as a replacement shall be eligible for reappointment to two consecutive full terms.

Ad hoc subcommittees will be appointed at the discretion of the Chairperson in consultation with the Vice Chairperson.
