Therefore\, it is the mandate of the Central Directive to constitute the different scientific and administrative Committees that will consolidate our Society. \n\n\n \nHere you can find the definitions of these Committees and the different tasks that must be undertaken by their members and establishes the guide for the elections of these Committees. \n\n\n \nMembership Committee\n\n\n \nThe Membership Committee shall review the applications for eligibility on the basis of criteria approved by LASID bylaws including good moral and ethical character. This Committee will approve memberships based on the majority of voting. Determination by the Membership Committee shall be final in its sole discretion and cannot be appealed. The Membership Committee may\, in exceptional circumstances\, waive any requirement of membership in any class in any particular instance. The Membership Committee together with the LASID President\, Vice-­‐President\, and the Secretary should appoint a Commission composed of regular members in good standing to handle moral and ethical issues related to LASID membership. \n\n\n \nThe Membership Committee should outreach and accommodate within LASID\, all national interest groups on Primary Immunodeficiencies throughout Latin America\, current participants of the LASID Registry (approximately 100 centers)\, sister scientific societies throughout Latin America and other continents (Allergy-­‐Immunology Societies\, Pediatric Societies\, Immunology Societies\, Infectious Diseases Societies\, Newborn Screening Societies\, Genetics Societies\, etc.)\, stimulating LASID membership\, advertising LASID and proposing partnerships. \n\n\n \nAn up-­to-­date list of good standing members and individuals who have applied for membership and that fulfill the requirements to become members of the Membership Committee shall be made available online at the LASID website. Finally\, the membership Committee should manage to have LASID membership in good standing with their annual dues. \n\n\n \nSocial Media & Communications Committee\n\n\n \nThe purpose of the Social Media Communications committee is to develop and oversee all communication vehicles for the LASID membership. This primarily includes the LASID website and all related editorial policies and procedures. The committee is responsible to keep up‐to-­ date information about LASID regular activities with emphasis on LASID Bi­Annual Meetings\, LASID Summer School Program\, LASID Fellowship Program\, and LASID Registry. \n\n\n \nThe Social Medical & Communications Committee should nominate a Commission of LASID experts to develop channels of communication with editors of related scientific journals (Latin American and international journals)\, aiming to encourage manuscript submissions from LASID members\, as well as to provide guidance throughout the editorial process. An up-­‐to-­‐date list of journals starting with the Journal of Clinical Immunology (official LASID journal) as well as other journals should be made available in the LASID Website. \n\n\n \nJuniors Committee\n\n\n \nThe LASID Junior Committee will be composed of LASID members in training\, in good standing\, and will be responsible for developing and overseeing benefits and programs for current and future Trainee Members. The LASID Juniors Committee will meet regularly via conference call and will work with other committees throughout the year to assist with LASID regular activities such as the LASID Bi-­‐Annual Meetings\, LASID Summer School\, LASID Registry\, and LASID Fellowship program. \n\n\n \nRegistry Committee\n\n\n \nThe LASID Registry Committee is responsible for the maintenance and further development of the LASID Registry.

This committee will also advice the Registering Centers with administrative and ethical issues\, and will provide data analysis for study initiatives using Registry data and answering queries on patient cohorts for further studies. \n\n\n \nThe aim of the LASID registry is to expand the current common data pool and estimate the disease burden of PID in Latin America\, and to provide an internet-­‐based database for clinical and research data on patients with PID. This database is a platform for epidemiological analyses and can also serve as a tool relevant for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies or the identification of novel disease-­‐associated genes. \n\n\n \nThis committee should also promote PID registry within the national PID groups of interest throughout Latin America\, develop clinical epidemiological investigational protocols\, and elaborate regular progress reports. \n\n\n \nEducation Committee\n\n\n \nThe Education Committee is responsible to plan and develop education activities for LASID as well as approve and monitor any jointly sponsored activities. This committee is also responsible to review the overall educational program on an annual basis. This committee should work in parallel with the Website / Communications Committee to offer educational materials and appoint scientific publications and policies that will be of interest of LASID membership. \n\n\n \nThis committee should manage the LASID Summer School Program\, LASID Fellowship program\, develop the educational program for the LASID Bi-­‐Annual Meetings\, assist national PID groups to develop local educational programs\, select and advertise all LASID related educational programs in the several countries\, develop educational materials about diagnosis and management of PID patients and make it available at LASID website. \n\n\n \nELEGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS\n\n\n \nPlease consult timeline for opening and deadlines first! \n\n\n \nDEFINITION OF NOMINEES THAT CAN BECOME MEMBERS OF A COMMITTEE: \n\n\n \n\nEach committee will be constituted only by five (5) members.\nA maximum of 2 nominees from each country can become members of a committee.
