positions--a representative from the general public; an individual

specially qualified in numismatics by virtue of his or her education,

training, or experience; and an individual specially qualified in

American history. Public Law 108-15 established the CCAC to:

bullion coinage, Congressional Gold Medals, and other medals produced

by the United States Mint.

[sbull] Advise the Secretary of the Treasury with regard to--

[sbull] The events, persons, or places that the Committee

each of the five calendar years succeeding the year in which a

commemorative coin designation is made.

[sbull] Making recommendations with respect to the mintage level

for any commemorative coin recommended.

[sbull] The proposed designs for commemorative coins.

Total membership consists of 11 voting members appointed by the

Secretary of the Treasury:

[sbull] One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her

education, training or experience as nationally or internationally

recognized curator in the United States of a numismatic collection;

[sbull] One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her

experience in the medallic arts or sculpture;

[sbull] One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her

education, training, or experience in American history;

[sbull] One person specially qualified by virtue of his or her

education, training, or experience in numismatics;

[sbull] Three persons who can represent the interests of the

general public in the coinage of the United States; and

[sbull] Four persons appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury on

the basis of the recommendations by the House and Senate leadership;

all terms are four years except the terms of the initial appointees.

The Committee is subject to the direction of the Secretary of the

Treasury. Meetings of the CCAC are open to the public. The United

States Mint is responsible for providing the necessary support services

for the Committee. Committee members are not paid for their time or

services, but, consistent with Federal Travel Regulations, members are

reimbursed for their travel and lodging expenses to attend up to ten

meetings each year. Members may be subject to the Standards of Ethical

Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (5 CFR part 2653).

The United States Mint will review all submissions and will forward

its recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury for appointment

consideration. Candidates who are specially qualified in numismatics

and who can represent the interests of the general public should

include their knowledge of history or an understanding of American

culture, history and patriotism. Candidates who believe that they are

specially qualified to serve by reason of their education, training, or

experience in the field of American history should provide support in

their applications. Candidates will be called upon to recommend

important places, people or events to commemorate our country's history

as well as recommend the nation's coin programs to foster future coin

collectors. All candidates should include specific skills, abilities,

talents, and credentials to support their applications. The United

States Mint is also interested in candidates who have demonstrated

leadership skills, who have received recognition by their peers in

their disciplines or fields of interest, who have records of

participation in public service or activities, and who are willing to

commit the time and effort to participate in the Committee meetings and

related activities.

Good advice that everyone should follow Mark.
