No, we didn’t find a way to add more hours to the day. What we have done is identified a committee structure that will make it easier to volunteer by minimizing the demand on your time and maximizing the return.
Sound too good to be true? It’s not. At its spring meeting, ARMA International’s Board of Directors discussed recommendations from the Task Force on Committee Structure that would move the association fully into a task force model. That means defined deliverables and time commitments. As a volunteer, you’ll know exactly what you’re expected to do and how long you have to do it.
This model eliminates working committees, which often struggle to determine their charge. With the revised model, the board will create task forces based on the specific expertise needed to achieve specific outcomes. Thus, the focus will be targeted and less shotgun-like.
The task forces will report to one of two board committees. An implementation task force is working on the particulars with the goal of transitioning to the new model July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year.
