Overview

The role of the committee secretary is especially significant at Monash given the importance and number of committees that operate on all the campuses. This is an opportunity to obtain targeted instruction on the role of the committee secretary, ask all those difficult questions you've wanted to, find out how to present committee documents in an acceptable format and obtain reference material to make a sometimes onerous task more manageable.
