Just wondering if people had any ideas for the non-traditional committee members (i.e. that your committee came up with on your own to fit the needs of the community). I work with a college event and we have had some luck in creating new positions to have a succession plan for leadership in the future.
Some new positions we've created are:
Documentations Chair - collects newspaper clippings, photos, etc from the school paper, as well as takes photos and video of committee events, meetings, and of course the Relay to turn into promotional material for the following year.
Leadership Development Chair(s) - create fun projects for the Colleges Against Cancer and RFL committee to participate in, such as Hope Lodge visits, Haunted Houses, potlucks, and meeting icebreakers
Fundraising Chairs - coordinate large group fundraisers (such as dine for donations with local restaurants donating a % of a nights proceeds, concession stands at large market sporting events, etc) and also communicates team fundraisers such as spaghetti dinners, garage sales, etc with all other teams to promote the events
We're looking for more because we seem to have so many people interested!
Those are great committees! And how wonderful that you have so many interested that you are able to break out some of the duties that tend to either get added to someone who already has a full plate or they just don't get done.
Do you have an Advocacy chair or team mentor chair? We also have a team captain coordinator who is the liason between the team captains and the team development chair. This person is the one who usually does the TC meetings and sends out updates.
