District Committees
General Information
Prior to 1 Oct 2005, there were 42
standing District committees, for
most of
which the only member was the Chair, and seven staff positions.
The
Shaping initiative of 2004, consolidated
the functions of the standing committees and reduced the number of
committees
to 25, each with members from across the District and reduced the
number of
staff positions to five. Since then, the Board established a Key
Leader Committee. For 2007-08, two additional committees have
been
added:
- District Project Committee to focus on
the Governor's Project of Childhood Obesity
- International President's Visit
Committee to coordinate International President Dave Curry's visit
to
the Capital District in Jan 2008.
There are three types of District
Committees:
-
Policy Formulation Committees that
work with the District Board to develop and analyze District Policy
options
- Club Support Committees with two main functions. They work with
the Board to provide information and policy suggestions in their area
and they work with Lt Governors and Club Presidents to strengthen
existing clubs and build new ones.
- District Support Groups which provide various kinds of services for
the District.
In general, committee
members serve three year terms and Committee
Chairs have at least one year of experience on the committee before
becoming the Chair.
