3. My Goal is to Augment The existing structure with actual functional committees
Five Functional Committees*
Communications & Technology
ACTION Committee
Finance Committee
Planning & Logistics Committee
External Relations Committee
Most work will involve cooperative efforts between 2-5 committees!
All Chair/Co-Chair appointments are to be considered “temporary”
* The County Chair and both Vice Chairs are automatic ex-officio members of all committees. Also, Chairs and Co-Chairs are automatic ex-officio members of any subcommittees within their committees.
There will be a 6th Committee, to be discussed later.
