Not unlike a queen bee, the Committee Chair has both an essential and (intentionally) narrow set of responsibilities.

==== Summary Position Description: Committee Secretary ==== | |||
The Secretary is responsible for handling all Committee meeting logistics. This includes chasing down meeting venues, emailing out meeting notices and agendas as provided by the Chair, taking competent notes during meetings and disseminating those notes to interested parties. | |||
Though the Chair sets meeting agendas, it is the Secretary who actually runs meetings by calling out agenda items and keeping the Committee on task. | |||
The Secretary also acts as the keeper of the CRD’s map, which is provided by PBEM. | |||
'''KEY COMPETENCIES:''' Robert’s Rules, notetaking, familiarity with Committee charter (if there is one), meeting facilitation. | |||
'''Estimated time commitment:''' 5 hours/month | |||
==== Summary Position Description: Committee Whip ==== | |||
Previous experience in NET has demonstrated that the NET Team Leader spends a lot of time verifying whether members are still active and encouraging them to participate, and verifying that projects are on track for completion. | |||
In order to allow the Committee Chair to focus on strategic planning, the Committee Whip takes the responsibilities of checking in with NPW officers, ensuring they and their projects don’t just “drop off radar”, leaving the Chair and the rest of the Committee wondering what happened and how to redirect resources and committee energy. | |||
The Whip emails and calls CRD officers prior to meetings to confirm attendance, track statuses, and report to the Chair when an officer departs from the Committee and a replacement must be found. | |||
The responsibilities of the Whip should not suggest that officers can never be absent from a meeting; the Whip is not an “enforcer”. Their role should be seen more in terms of keeping tabs on the Committee’s goals and interests. | |||
'''KEY COMPETENCIES:''' persistence, people skills, email use. | |||
'''Estimated time commitment:''' 5 hours/month | |||
