ASU Research Operations Change Management Committee (CMC) 

FY24 Committee Member Roles & Responsibilities 

Updates and improvements are being made to ASU’s research administration change management process. On July 1, 2023, a new Change Management Committee (CMC) will replace the current Change Management Board (CMB) as part of this process refresh, which will entail the addition of additional and new committee members to help execute changes, increased visibility for the change management process, and broadened communication throughout the RA Community. The CMC’s mission will be to review, discuss, and vote on requested research administration process changes and to ensure all approved changes are implemented.  

The CMC will be overseen by Committee Co-Chairs and Facilitator(s), to be appointed by Knowledge Enterprise (KE) leadership. Voting Committee Members and Specialized Committee Roles will be filled through a nomination and election process. 

Complete and submit the FY24 CMC Nomination Form by March 13, 2023.
