April 4, 2006 Restructuring NACCHO Advisory Committees An Update Restructuring NACCHO Advisory Committees An Update

April 4, 2006 Why Restructure? a) It is fun to play with org charts b) Just felt like a change c) Pat had nothing else to do d) A high paid management consultant told us to try it e) We can increase member involvement, rationalize work plans, and tie work more closely to the NACCHO Strategic Plan

April 4, 2006 Why Restructure NACCHO Committees are critical to the NACCHO vision of being the national voice of local public health How can we maximize the use of Committees, inform our work and move the NACCHO Strategic Plan forward?

April 4, 2006 Background Workgroup formed Spring 2005 Asked to make recommendations concerning: –Strategic Direction #5: Enhance NACCHOs infrastructure to achieve its mission Objective #5.1: Achieve and maintain highly effective and diverse board, forum, and committee leadership.

April 4, 2006 Findings Current structure is –Confusing –Difficult to track, manage, and staff –Conducive to overlapping work plans and duplication of effort –Not well linked to the Strategic Plan

April 4, 2006 Findings Member expertise, interest and involvement can be expanded to better guide NACCHOs work Members needs can be better aligned with funders objectives Staff support can be better allocated to support Committee work The interface between Committee work and the Board of Directors can be improved

April 4, 2006 Findings Committees should be a resource for the policy development and review process Related work among committees suggests clustering External liaisons should be linked to NACCHO Committees

April 4, 2006 Pros Expanded member involvement Enhanced strategic oversight Clear lines of responsibility and accountability Better, more efficient use of NACCHO staff Flexible structure reflects strategic priorities Standardized language

April 4, 2006 Cons Change from a familiar structure Implementation will require focused attention over the next two years Do not have all the answers at the outset

April 4, 2006 Remaining Challenges Effectively moderating time commitment for chairs and members Coordination between ESC and SDT Working relationships between workgroups and ESC or SDT need to be further explained Aligning funding with Committee Structure Stepping through implementation between now and the Annual Conference

April 4, 2006 What does this mean for ME?

April 4, 2006 What does this mean for ME? Current members rotating off may express interest in new assignment via Interest Survey Members appointed to groups in the new structure based on Chair and staff recommendations and individual preferences

April 4, 2006 Next Steps Subject to NACCHO Board of Directors approval Logistics of appointment process currently being worked out

April 4, 2006 Next Steps Communication with you by lead committee staff Watch for member interest survey Announcements in Public Health Dispatch and NACCHO Exchange

April 4, 2006 What we have yet to figure out How and when ESC, SDT and Workgroups will meet Move from current work plans toward more strategic oversight activities Fiscal/staffing resources needed to implement

April 4, 2006 When successful Demonstrate ESC, SDT and Workgroup contributions to NACCHOs work More members are involved; more voice in NACCHOs work Fewer places where Committees and Teams overlap; logical homes for policy and project work
