Steve Tippins explains that how often you update your committee depends on your chair's preferences. Some chairs want tight control over communication, while others welcome regular check-ins. Quarterly brief updates can work well if your chair allows it.
How often should I update the full committee on my progress? The answer to this one depends on your chair. Some chairs want to keep really tight control and then say, okay, now you can tell the committee. And it's up to your chair is going to decide that. Or it's nice to keep a committee in, hey, here's what's going on. If your chair will allow that quarterly, if you haven't contacted them, something like that. Hey, just want to let you know I'm working on this. I hope everything's going well for you.
