Overseas Aid Committee
Committees navigation
The Overseas Aid Committee meets at least three times a year during the annual scientific meeting or by teleconference. The committee advises council on policy regarding support for training and continuing professional development in anaesthesia and pain medicine in neighbouring developing countries and develops, oversees and/or implements council-approved initiatives.
Council has developed terms of reference for the committees that report to it. The aim is to streamline both council and committee work by clarifying the purpose of and arrangements for committees, particularly to define which functions are delegated to committees (and reported through to council) and which require council approval. The terms of reference includes standardised definitions of a quorum, voting rules and that electronic decisions should be recorded in the minutes of the next meeting.
