Purpose statement of the Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee has its own purpose statement which differs from the Vision and Mission of the Center, but reflects the Committee’s dedication to carry out the Vision and Mission.
"OSU’s Doel Reed Center Advisory Committee will provide counsel and support to the Center, the Center Director and the University. To the extent possible, the Advisory Committee will ensure the accomplishment of the Doel Reed Center’s mission and Martha Reed’s wish for the property’s use as an educational facility that recognizes her father’s distinguished art career."
General Responsibilites of Members and Committees
In January 2022, bylaws and operating guidelines for committees were adopted by the Advisory Committee to more clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the Advisory Committee. The current standing committees are: Historical, Hospitality, Leisure Learning, Marketing and Outreach, Nominating, Property Management, Visiting Artist, Visiting Scholar.
Please familiarize yourself with the bylaws and committee operating guidelines and be prepared to choose which committee(s) suit your skills and interests. These documents should answer most questions about how the Advisory Committee conducts business and the roles and responsibilities of committee members, but if you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask the center director, Advisory Committee officers, or OSU Foundation liaisons.
The current membership roster, committee assignments and officers can be found here.
Business Plan
In Spring 2021 the Advisory Committee undertook the process of envisioning the future
of the Doel Reed Center by creating a plan of priority initiatives. A task force was
appointed and met throughout the summer. In January 2022, after review by the center
director and the OSU Associate Provost, a business plan was adopted, listing priorities
for the upcoming year. The business plan will be updated at each January meeting,
removing completed items and tasks, and adding priorities for the upcoming year. Please
take the time to review the current version of the business plan.
