Have you considered giving them a job description?
If not, I suggest you do.
Being selected to join a committee is an honor and a responsibility to support the organization goes with that commitment.
I suggest two things:
- Create a job description and hand it out at your next volunteer orientation session. Your volunteers will take your lead.
- And after that, if they don’t commit, thank them for their service and recruit a new member to join your leadership team.
Remember, being on a committee is a resume builder for each of your volunteers. They need to earn that honor.
I’ve said it before, set the expectations up front. No surprises! Let them know you want their intellectual capital, full participation and financial support.
Don’t accept anything less!
