| Standing Committees |
The CSTE Executive Board includes three Standing Committees comprised of both Executive Board representatives and active CSTE members. More information on the history of CSTE standing committees can be found here. Click each box below for a standing committee description. Finance and Audit CommitteeThe Finance and Audit (F&A) Standing Committee oversees the financial activities of CSTE, including engaging an independent, certified public accounting firm and ensures that internal controls are in place to protect assets. Membership of the F&A Committee is comprised of at least three Executive Board members and an independent consultant Chair: Ruth Lynfield,MD; CSTE Secretary-Treasurer, State Epidemiologist and Medical Director, Minnesota Department of Health
Governance and Nominating CommitteeThe Governance and Nominating (G&N) Standing Committee ensures compliance with CSTE’s Articles of Incorporation and CSTE Bylaws. This committee recruits and presents candidates for election or replacement to the Executive Board. The membership of the G&N Committee is comprised of at least four Executive Board members. The G&N Committee shall temporarily appoint one to four non-Executive Board members selected from the active members to solicit nominations for Executive Board elections. The G&N Committee identifies candidates for each open position and recommends a final slate to the Executive Board. The Executive Board approves candidates and slates prior to membership voting. Chair: Rachelle Boulton, MSPH; CSTE Member-at-Large; Director of Informatics, Utah Department of Health & Human ServicesProgram and Policy (P&P) CommitteeThe Program and Policy (P&P) Committee oversees and advises on the various programmatic and policy development activities of the organization. The P&P Committee ensures coordination and communication across P&P Steering, Ad Hoc, and Subcommittees and adjudicates priority and emerging issues of importance to the Executive Board in a timely manner. The P&P Committee also guides CSTE consensus development processes, including position statements, briefs, letters, public comments, etc. The P&P Committee, in coordination with the Executive Board, establishes and/or abolishes Steering, Ad Hoc, and Subcommittees. Membership consists of 3-5 Executive Board members, Steering Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs, and Ad Hoc Committee Chairs. All P&P Committee members are active CSTE members, working at a state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health agency with current membership status. In September 2022, the CSTE Executive Board approved a revised interim Steering Committee Structure, which includes six Steering Committees and many Subcommittees. The P&P Committee may add additional Steering Committees to support other priority programmatic areas in the future. The following subcommittees – Health Equity, Tribal Epi, Public Health Law, Border and International Health, and Public Health Emergency Preparedness – are not yet assigned to a Steering Committee and during this interim phase, will report directly to the P&P Chair. Once leadership for the P&P Committee is in place in early 2023, the Committee will address how best to incorporate these subcommittees into the new structure. Chair:Sarah Kemble, MD, CSTE President-Elect; State Epidemiologist, Hawaii
