NCEES committees and voting

Committees and task forces

NCEES has several standing committees that meet throughout the year to address Council business and licensure issues. These committees’ duties are described in the Bylaws. The president appoints members to the committees each year.

Apart from the standing committees, the president has the authority to create special committees and task forces with limited terms to address timely issues as needed.

NCEES is composed of 69 member licensing boards from each U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These member boards (the Council) attend an annual business meeting each August to vote on motions and resolutions presented by NCEES committees, task forces, zones, the Board of Directors, and individual boards. NCEES boards also vote to fill open spaces on the Board of Directors. Most items voted on by the Council require a simple majority; changes to the Council’ s Bylaws require a two-thirds majority.

Full details about the Council’ s governance and voting procedures can be found in the NCEES Bylaws. Find future annual meeting dates and locations here.
