The CAISA Commission consists of 16 professional educators (and two public members) who meet four times a year to review the reports submitted by CAISA volunteer evaluators. The Commission makes their recommendation on the outcome of the team visits and candidacy visits and submits their recommendations to the NEASC Board of Trustees for approval.
The Commission members serve three year terms and can be reappointed at the end of that period for a total period of six years. They are elected by a majority vote of the delegates of institutional members served by the commission concerned. Meetings of such delegates for this purpose shall be held in conjunciton with the Annual Meeting of the Corporation.
