Committees

SCTEM is run by a dedicated group of volunteer members who give their time and expertise to serve on committees that do the work of SCTEM.

In return, they forge deep and lasting relationships with their colleagues, work to advance knowledge in travel and expense management, and bring their experience to the industry’s only organization devoted exclusively to higher education.
