Executive Committee Job Description

The members are ALWAYS the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Exec Director. Then, the President can request anyone else to join – Chair of standing committees or other mentors. The size needs to be kept manageable within the restraints of conference calling technology.

The job of the Executive Committee is to meet approximately monthly by conference call to deal with any board issues that need quick resolution including planning for the agenda for the next meeting and keeping everyone informed. They have undefined power to make some decisions and recommend others to the full board for action. One of the participants in the call writes up minutes and email them to the full board ASAP. We have, recently, also invited all board members to "sit in" on the conference calls but we have not tried to tailor the timing of the calls around anyone other than Exec Comm members.

The exec committee should be email copied almost everything between board members and committees, Mark (as Program Director and Executive Director) and Barb (as Operations Manager) so that they can stay abreast of current calamities and successes, and small decisions that have been allocated downward.
