Our little organization-that-could is growing up! As a result, we’re continually evaluating our practices to make sure they still make sense. At the Board Retreat in January, we discussed the committees, which are the engines that keep the organization running. In an effort to streamline communications and return to our roots, we will be reorganizing the committee structure under a simplified format that honors past contributions while allowing us to grow more easily.
Committees and Task Forces
Returning to our fundamental values, there will be four primary committees and taskforces may work underneath them on specific projects.
- The Administrative Committee recruits future leaders and manages the organization’s finances.
- The Advocacy Committee will maintain a sharp eye on changes both locally and regionally that impact our ability to continue hosting.
- The Education Committee will provide information to members, facilitates weekly conversational gatherings, and monthly meetups whether in-person or online.
- The focus of the Community Committee is to foster relationships both with members and with the broader community and provides developmental guidance to help us be as successful as we possibly can be.
Join a Committee
Joining a committee requires a commitment of 1-3 hours per month, depending upon your level of interest and availability to take on special assignments. You do NOT need to live in the local area and folks from all backgrounds are welcome to contribute. We are welcoming new committee members anytime, so reach out to join the fun!
We are also accepting volunteers to Chair the Advocacy, Community, and Education committees. You will direct the focus of the team, interface with the Board of Directors, and strengthen your bonds within the Host2Host community. Not-to-mention, it’s an excellent resume-builder!
