overload your executive, you will set up
committees to handle the various jobs.
These committees should have job
descriptions, but remember that both
the committee and the job description
can be changed or dropped at annual
review time. Each committee needs a
chairperson who is responsible for
reporting to the executive on a regular
basis.
(3) Take your list of committees with
job descriptions to each member and
ask him or her to indicate which
committee they would be willing to
serve on. Usually people will do a better
job if they are on a committee of their
choice. Also, most people will choose a
committee doing a job in which Zhey
have some previous experience.
You may want to encourage someone
to branch out and try a committee
where they know little about the sub-
ject. Remember, experience on several
different committees in an organization
would be excellent background for
eventually serving on the executive
committee.
What do you do with the person who
says: "I can't do anything so I don't
want to go onto a committee." Obvious-
ly you cannot force someone to accept
committee responsibility (although if
you belong to a Chamber of Commerce,

tee). But if you know your member well
enough you may be able to find some
job which he or she can easily handle,
and gradually the member will gain
self-confidence. Most people prefer to
be asked to do something and need to
be encouraged to become involved.
Being involved in an organization can
be fun (maybe not all the time).
Certainly it gives a person a sense of
belonging (which we all need) and by
contributing some time and effort to a
small job, a timid person might be
encouraged to go on to something a
little bigger. We all have to start
somewhere. If your members are de-
veloping new skills and improving on
old ones, then your organization will
hum with success.
Rural areas are full of enthusiastic,
hard-working people. Try approaching
someone who is not already involved in
several activities. They may be just
waiting to be asked.
The bottom line is that your organi-
zation will continue to grow and the
people you encourage will in turn bring
others along into active participation.
Everyone in your organization is a
potential recruiter. New blood, fresh
ideas and enthusiasm will help maintain
the momentum and prevent your organi-
zation from sliding into oblivion.
Give it a try. You might be surprised
