OTHER COMMENTS:

Most cabinet members are assigned to one or more cabinet subcommittees. The subcommittees meet in conjunction with each cabinet meeting and often between cabinet meetings -- either in-person or by teleconference. In addition, most cabinet members serve as liaisons to a sports committee. The liaisons are to be a communications link between sports committees and the cabinet and are required to be sufficiently knowledgeable about the committee's issues to be able to present them at the cabinet meetings. Liaisons do not attend in-person meetings of the sports committees but should be in regular communication with the sports committee chair.
