Governance
Early-Career Committee
The Early-Career Committee develops trainee pathways, mentorship stubs, and trainee programming for SIRiiM as an Institute program. All committee seats are VACANT pending internal interest, Board slate review, and Clay Hess / Institute Board clearance. The reserved MPC-EC seat is tracked on the Meeting Planning roster and is also VACANT.
Mission
- Draft a trainee and early-career pathway with Membership; live dues remain HOLD.
- Build mentorship structure and COI-aware matching stubs; names remain unassigned until cleared.
- Develop trainee programming for the first meeting and listening options, using roles-only planning.
- Coordinate advocacy for the reserved MPC-EC seat without owning the MPC roster.
Seats (VACANT)
| Seat / workstream | Status |
|---|---|

| Mentorship | VACANT (2) |
| Trainee programming | VACANT (2) |
| MPC liaison | VACANT (1) |

Planning target: 5–6 EC seats, plus the separate reserved MPC-EC seat. Awards / Fellowships remain HOLD.
How bots work with seated people
Institute bots work with each seated person on ops, coordination, drafts, and tracking; humans retain scientific and governance judgment. The default is a committee-level bot liaison. Personal bots require a named person and Clay Hess clearance. No PHI. Outside outreach remains HOLD until Clay clears a named recipient and message.
