At their August 15, 2025 meeting, the SEAGO Executive Board amended the Bylaws to eliminate the Administrative Committee (comprised of the officers of the Administrative Council) and create only the Executive Committee (comprised of the officers of the Executive Board), in order to streamline processes and eliminate redundancy. The Executive Committee is empowered under the current SEAGO Bylaws to conduct program related, time sensitive business that must be accomplished in between regular meetings of the full Administrative Council and Executive Board. The Administrative Council and Executive Board meet only four times per year. Calling special meetings of the entire Administrative Council (with 19 members) and Executive Board (with 24 members) to conduct business in between regular meetings is extremely difficult, even when several months' notice is provided. As a result, the Bylaws were amended to form the Executive Committee in order to reduce quorum requirements so that business that could not wait until the next regular meeting could be conducted. The Executive Committee typically holds four meetings over each calendar year.
