Appeals Committee

The Appeals Committee is comprised of at least five members at all times. Committee members are appointed by the board, who strive to include representation from all stakeholders, including at least one member of the Board of Directors. The Appeals Committee serves as the adjudication board for issues related to the PMO such as a conflict-of-interest claim, disagreements over status determination, or requests for exceptions. They conduct regular meetings and may call special ad hoc meetings as needed. In some cases, the Executive Committee, which includes Board Officers and executive staff, may appoint a subject matter expert to the committee to aid in a claim assessment as needed.
