Comittees? Share Your Thoughts Here!

At our June board meeting, we revisited the work that was done at the May meeting in terms of moving our organization toward one that is structured with committees. At the May meeting the following list of possible committes was generated. Please review the list and add your comments.

Should we add some more?

Delete others?

Which ones do you think are priorities?

What 'powers' might the committees have?

Who might serve on them?

1. Education
2. Membership Relations
3. Program/Projects
4. Fund Raising
5. Finance
6. Administration
7. Communication/Advertising/Outreach

I believe we need to staff all of these if we really want to become a full fledged organization (time to jump out of the nest).

That means recruiting volunteers for each of the groups and designating board members to keep track of them.

In mu opinion, until we are willing to recruit others to do the things that need to be done, we will not be in any position for a major fund raising nor to run the organization when we do get the funding.

I agree with Jeremy regarding having the need to recruit people to staff the committees. I wonder if 7 committees might be too many for us to tackle at once; maybe 7 is a goal. Perhaps we could prioritize them. For instance, I would vote for creating fund raising and finance committees before an education committee.
