 WADE Committees
The WADE Commission appoints four standing committees for accreditation.

 A) The Standards Committee investigates the educational problems that are unique to distance education and training fields. The efficiency and effectiveness of instructional methods and procedures are evaluated on the basis of this investigation. The analysis of survey is then recommended to the commission policies, standards and practices to govern the members of the Council. This committee also investigates and makes recommendations on the standards of ethical conduct to the Commission.

 B) The Nominating Committee nominates only the officers and replacement members to the Accrediting Commission. Whereas the public members of the Commission and its officers are elected by the Commission itself and the Commissioners from WADE -accredited institutions are elected by members of the Council.

 C) The Finance & Audit Committee analyzes fees and dues and recommends methods for determining reasonable amount. The committee also prepares and presents the annual budget in the annual meeting for the approval by the Commission.

 D) It is the responsibility of the Awards and Recognition Committee to determine who shall receive awards for distinguished service in the field of distance education. However, the Committee itself makes the final selection of the award recipients.
