Committees — Now we can really get things going . . .

March 26, 2010

. . . and give every member the opportunity to be involved.

At the March Board of Directors meeting the BOD agreed to reactivate the committees that the chapter formed in 2009 and we also agreed to revamp the way the committees work.

Committees are the backbone of any organization. Committees allow members to delve deeper into new ideas and share their ideas in a way that is more conducive to discussion and development than our full membership meetings. Committees are able to reduce the workload of the full membership by focusing the nuts and bolts of hashing through the details of new ideas and project development to a smaller, more functional group. When a large group uses committees, the organization is able to pay more attention to the details of all its operations, plan better events and allow its members to be more active.

For the WMD Jaycees the committees will provide all of those benefits. We will use committees to develop new ideas, discuss problems with our current systems and make recommendations to the BOD – and the full membership – on how to move forward.

We have 4 committees; they are Fundraising, Membership, Social and By-laws. We are asking the every member of the chapter participate in at least one of these committees. The committees will meet at a time and place that is convenient to its members, not necessarily before the membership meetings.

Each committee is chaired by a member of the chapter, and one member of the BOD has been assigned to each committee to serve as advisor and co-chair.

The committee leadership looks like this:

Fundraising Committee
Chair: Joe Caporale
BOD Advisor: Eric Ritchie

Membership Committee:
Chair: Brooke VonStein
BOD Advisor: Kelley Hallam

Social Committee:
Chair: Stacey Simpson
BOD Advisor: Kerri Adams

By-laws Committee:
Chair: Matt Shipway
BOD Advisor: Kelly Brown

Every member of the WMD Jaycees is asked to join at least one of these committees!!!

To get in touch with one of the committee chairs, simply click on his/her name to send an e-mail. The chairs can provide more information on what issues and ideas the committee will be tackling and when they plan to start meeting.

If anyone has any questions that I can answer please don’t hesitate to ask me. It’s always a pleasure to write to you and a constant honor to be your President!

Thank you.
