==== Committee Chair ==== | |||
Not unlike a queen bee, the Committee Chair has both an essential and (intentionally) narrow set of responsibilities. Nor is it a position intended to bestow great swathes of power and influence upon the recipient. | |||
The Chair is focused on identifying Committee goals and holding Committee members accountable to completing them. The Chair also helps the rest of the Committee think through priorities and what resources are needed to accomplish a goal. | |||
The Chair has some executive authority: hey are responsible at meetings for calling a vote, creating/disbanding task forces as needed, and scheduling meetings. The Chair also is the Committee’s representative to City bureaus such as PBEM, PF&R, PPB, ONI, and so on. | |||
The Chair is shielded from, and not permitted to, take on any other responsibilities for the Committee. | |||
'''KEY COMPETENCIES:''' delegation, leadership, judgement, public speaking, diplomatic, good listener. | |||
'''Estimated time commitment:''' 10 hours/month. | |||
