Agendas and Minutes

Symposium Committee Agendas and Minutes are posted online for public access at the County of Santa Clara's Boards and Commissions website.

Structure and procedures

The Chair of this Committee is Chairperson James Gibbons-Shapiro. Responsibilities of the Committee include:

  • Plan and execute the annual Child Abuse Prevention Council Symposium.
  • Secure a venue and arrange catering.
  • Determine the program for the event.
  • Publicize the event and register attendees.

The Committee must submit a budget at the end of the fiscal year for the following year as do all other committees. Money raised through a symposium belongs to the Council, not the committee. The Council approves the budget of the Council, of which the Symposium Committee's budget is a piece.
