The Honor Committee performs two important functions, case processing and community education Effective collaboration and communication is essential both during the hearing process and in engaging with community stakeholders The Committee serves as the policy making body, while the Support Officer pool often has greater case experience on average

25. Page 25 © 2008 The Network Roundtable LLC The Honor Committee and Support Officers have a demonstrated lack of interaction in multiple dimensions Committee Members and Support Officers have low levels of internal collaboration Support Officers socialize internally, but Committee Members do not Support Officers and Committee Members do not socialize Support Officers and Committee Members are not recognized as champions by any group Findings and Evidence There is little information or best practice sharing within the Honor Committee or Support Officer position There may be a lack of collegiality and informal connectedness within the Honor Committee The Honor Committee and Support Officers may have a lack of mutual respect driven by a dearth of interaction Key Interpretations

26. Page 26 © 2008 The Network Roundtable LLC Key Take-Aways 1)The working body of Support Officers have little interaction with the decision- making body (Honor Committee). 2)Senior Support Trainers can serve as key brokers between Committee and Support Officers given their level of connectedness and the high probability that they run for Committee. 3)The “merge” restructuring did not fix all connectivity issues within the System. Post-merge analysis highlights the incredible disconnect between Committee and Support Officers even with fewer overall members. 4)Boosting internal collaboration within the Honor Committee and Support Officer groups would increase overall connectivity dramatically.

27. Page 27 © 2008 The Network Roundtable LLC Pursuing an agenda of increased inter-function collaboration could improve the network within Honor 1.Institutionalize bi-weekly, joint Support Officer-Committee meetings so that the decision makes are better informed about actual operations in Honor. 2.Implement a buddy system between Honor Committee and Senior Support Trainers to connect decision makers to important information brokers and groom SST for Committee positions 3.Schedule more informal interaction to foster inter-group collaboration and accessibility by emphasizing a flatter hierarchy 4.Engage Committee Members on the fringe by organizing sub- committees in the Honor Committee Recommendations for the current Honor Organization
