What’s the Time Commitment?

Committees are year-round groups with ongoing responsibilities. On average, each committee meets once per month via conference call during business hours with action items assignments for completion between calls. You will have the opportunity to contribute to projects and deliverables that are discussed during the meetings which will require some additional time for completion. The goal is quick, efficient, effective use of volunteer time.

What is the Leadership Structure of the Committee?

Each committee is led by a chair or co-chairs that guides the committee to meet the objectives identified by the Board of Directors. The action steps to meet these goals are developed by the committee chair(s). The chair(s) are responsible for setting the monthly agenda, sharing meeting minutes with the committee volunteers, submitting a mid-year and final committee report to the Board of Directors.

A representative from the GACCP Board of Directors supports each task committee to assist with presenting any board topics or discussions originating from the task force during board meetings. They will follow up with committee chair(s) following board meetings to reconfirm the committee’s objectives, share discussion items related to their area, and discuss options for collaboration with other task forces.

A staff liaison is also available to support each committee by providing the management perspective on initiatives, identifying tasks that management can cover or is already completing, and assisting where additional volunteer support is needed.
