COMMITTEES
Within many successful non-profit organizations the board of directors accomplish their work and goals though committees. The goal of the committee is to focus efforts and break the work at hand into meaningful and controllable chunks. Committees are the work units of the organization. There are two types of committees: A standing committee – also known as a permanent committee or operating committee which is formed to deal with ongoing, major activities within the organization. Standing committees may become a permanent feature of the non-profit. For short-term issues, the board will establish a group known as: ad hoc or appointed committees.
