2. While they are only an advisory body, unable to vote on matters; by their service on committees across campus with voting ability, they end up being a group that can vote on matters at the ground level of issues. More importantly, they are helping shape the issues/policies/discussions before they come to a vote. Difference is being proactive versus reactive.
