Arguments

committee

An integer representing the id of the committee for which to fetch the roles for the current members.

Details

A role indicates a period of service in a given position, so this function returns ALL the roles for this committee (both current and historic) for its current members. A role without an end date is a current role.

A member may have concurrent roles for the same period reflecting different positions e.g. one indicating their service as a member and another their service as a chair.
