  The CIC membership at its Annual Business Meeting on January 7 approved two Bylaws changes recommended by the CIC Board of Directors. The first made permanent the Associate Member category; the second established an Audit Committee of the Board.

The first Bylaws change made permanent, after a two-year trial period, the CIC Associate Member option for two-year, private liberal arts colleges. This category complements existing categories of Institutional, International, and Affiliate membership. Associate Members will pay dues of $900 (as do International Members), and are eligible for member rates at all CIC events. These institutions do not qualify, however, for participation in the Tuition Exchange Program or some of CIC’s limited enrollment programs. Ten institutions took advantage of the trial membership. The number of eligible institutions is about 40.

The new Audit Committee will review the completed audit prior to submitting it to the full Board for acceptance, and will recommend the auditor for each year’s upcoming audit. The Committee will consist of the Treasurer, Chair of the Investment Committee, and two other members of the Board. At least one member will have had significant experience in dealing with audit procedures. This modification of CIC’s audit process is intended to assure compliance with the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
