President Vice President * Secretary * Treasurer * Communications incl Web Officials & Events Assets & Facilities Coaching (Development) Coaching (High Performance) Promotions, Marketing & Sponsorship Social & non-Competitive Fund Raising Sub-Committee Proposed Committee Structure These * roles are required for Legalreasons. There is no requirement that they be unique roles for a person.
Committee operating model The proposal is to have a core committee that meets bi-monthly and, on the alternate months, functional committees whose role will be to develop and implement the programs to meet the goals outlined for the Club. The core committee is made up of the President and chairs of each of the functional committees as well as those members fulfilling our legal roles of Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. The functional committees will have a chair that represents that committee to the broader committee as well as broader representation from the overall membership of those with an interest in the specific areas.
Objectives of a functional area A number of strategies and targets have been developed for the six key goals for the Club. Each of these strategies and targets will be a focus of a specific functional committee though it is recognised that many of the committee will contribute to meeting the overall goals we have.
