Resource Development Committee
Section 6.4 Operating Committees. There shall be three operating committees of the Board, the Planning Committee, the Finance Committee and the Development Committee. Within thirty (30) days after the annual meeting each year, the president shall appoint a chairperson of each of the operating committees described below. The names of the chairpersons so appointed shall be submitted for ratification by the directors at the next meeting of the board of directors. A vacancy occurring in the position of an operating committee chairperson shall be filled in like manner, upon appointment by the president and ratification by the board of directors. The President, in consultation with the chairperson of each operating committee, shall appoint the members of the committee. New members of the operating committees may be appointed at any time. Each director of the corporation shall serve on at least one (1) of the operating committees. Operating committee chairpersons shall be expected to attend the regular meetings of the board of directors for the purpose of reporting on the work of their committees, receiving direction and guidance from the board, and seeking approval of actions proposed by their committees which require board approval. The operating committees shall perform the functions described below and such other functions as the board of directors may provide. (a) Planning Committee. This committee shall be responsible for providing a plan expressing a clear vision for the future of the support organization. This plan should be focused on the growth of the various affiliates, not just the growth of the support organization, itself. It should provide for affiliates of all sizes and at various levels of production. It should be broad enough to provide guidance from which affiliates can work and should induce them to do their own planning as part of the larger effort. The work of the Planning Committee can be done by the members of the Executive Committee, if so provided by a majority vote of the board of directors. (b) Finance Committee. This committee shall be responsible for: (i) overseeing the implementation and administration of policies and procedures for handling and accounting for the finances of the corporation; (ii) prepare an annual revenue and expense budget for submission to the full board of directors; (iii) work closely with the Development Committee to coordinate development of the resources needed to meet the revenue goals of the budget; (iv) monitor the implementation of the budget; and, (v) when necessary, make recommendations to the board of directors regarding adjustments to the budget. (c) Development Committee. This committee shall be responsible for coordinating the raising of funds and developing the resources needed to conduct the business of the corporation. The tasks to be coordinated by this committee shall include fund-raising and development campaigns, grant proposal writing, special fund-raising events, and cultivation of major donors. This committee shall emphasize and promote the importance of Christian stewardship in the servicing of donors and supporters. Return to top of page or to Main Menu |
