SISO recently completed its annual elections for 2005. Any SISO member in good standing is eligible to self-nominate for a SISO committee and to vote in SISO elections. The elected committee members then elect their own officers. The new committees and officers assume their positions at the close of the Fall SIW in September.
EXCOM members are elected to three-year terms. The primary responsibility of the EXCOM is to provide overall governance, strategic planning, policy, and oversight of policy implementation and general processes within SISO.
CC members are elected to two-year terms. The primary responsibility of the CC is to organize and manage the semi-annual workshops to facilitate development of interoperable simulations across the M&S community.
SAC members are elected to two-year terms. The primary responsibility of the SAC is to provide overall management of the SISO product development process.
Forum PRP members are elected to one-year terms. The primary responsibility of PRP members is to coordinate the overall planning for a Forum, including soliciting, reviewing, and hosting papers and presentations.
