* Technical Specialist roles for committees are mainly focused on the development or review and improvement of relevant subject matter such as course ware, frameworks, abstracts, papers, and standards. The type of technical knowledge required will vary significantly from entry-level to expert depending on the requirements of the committee. The necessary level and subject matter will be described in the role description. Some technical specialists on a committee may make non-technical contributions as well depending on what needs to be done.
