The SIG Cabinet is the official coordinating body for all SIGs and their
activities. The Cabinet consists of the Cabinet Director, the Deputy
Cabinet Direct or, the SIG Cabinet Steering Committee and one
representative from each SIG. As a body, the Cabinet's purpose is to manage
the collective affairs of the SIGs and to advise the Board of Directors
about the mutual interests and common problems of the SIGs.

The SIG Cabinet Director, who also serves as a member of the ASIS Board of
Directors, and the Deputy Cabinet Director are elected by the Cabinet from
among the current cabinet representatives and alternate representatives,
current Deputy SIG Cabinet Director and any ASIST member who has served as
a representative or on the SIG Cabinet Steering Committee during the last
three years, and chairs of the various Special Interest Groups.

Elections are held every two years in odd-numbered years and there is a
limit of two consecutive terms. In addition to representing the interests
of the SIGs to the Board, the Cabinet Director must also maintain formal
and informal lines of communication with the SIG cabinet and each SIG.

The SIG Cabinet Steering Committee has the general responsibility of
assisting the Cabinet Director in the management of the SIG Cabinet. The
committee consists of the Cabinet Director, the Deputy Cabinet Director and
four other members elected from among the current SIG officers and Cabinet
Representatives, each of whom serves a two-year staggered term. Members of
the Steering Committee are responsible for evaluating and approving all
Project and Reserve Fund requests and for serving as liaisons between the
SIGs and the Cabinet Director.

The other members of the SIG Cabinet are the Cabinet Representatives
elected or appointed by each SIG to represent them in this body. Each SIG
must choose a representative and an alternate representative with the
expectation that one of them will attend all Cabinet meetings.



Neither ASIS nor individual SIGs may support the travel expenses of
attendees at the SIG Cabinet Meeting. These expenses must be borne by the
individuals. An individual need not be a registered attendee at the meeting
in order to represent a SIG at a Cabinet meeting.
