Responsibilities
CCCC accomplishes much of its work through the use of committees. It is because of committees that we have position statements, award programs, even a conference itself. When you agree to accept the nomination for the Accountability for Equity and Inclusion Committee (AEIC), you are making a two-year commitment to serve as a member of the AEIC.
