CDS Officers Subcommittee (COSC)

Committee Purpose
The purpose of the COSC is to plan social and networking events for the Midwinter meeting. They should examine social functions annually to determine which are financially sustainable and have the attendees interested in making them worthwhile. They must decide if the event adds membership value to the meeting and will increase attendance. The Midwinter Meeting Clinician/Scout Reception and the President’s Dinner Dance should be annual MWM functions. The timing and the scope of the Opening Session should be discussed.

As consultants to the SPSC, the officers will be able to attend every Committee meeting they choose; they will be able to comment on every MWM, Regional and other CE programs during their term in office; they will be able to express their opinions regarding specific meetings through their selected representative on the SPSC and the Communications Committee. The SPSC will welcome Officer input.
