Committee meetings are held as per your club’s constitution. Please note, this is just a guide. Your own constitution will define how often meetings should be held and who attends. Types of things that may be discussed at committee meetings includes:
- Coordinate the planning of activities in a manner which ensures the aims and objectives of the club are fulfilled
- Carry out recommendations of members expressed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM)
- Provide members with updated detailed information regarding the running of the club
- Monitor the performance of the club officials, to see if they are carrying out their duties, monitor the performance of any club employees or sub‐committees.
- Ensure that all committee members are well‐informed of all past activities and the reasons for previous decisions.
- Negotiate training opportunities for Administrators and Coaches, provide detailed written and oral records and job descriptions to a newly elected committee.
- Planning and budgeting for the future.
- Ensure that all members of the committee are role models in the area of leadership.
