I can see this positon possibly involving a membership drive.
So a number of questions arise:
1. Do you think this person should Chair a Membership Drive Committee?
2. Or should this file be given to one of the Executive, and they would chair it?
3. Or do you think a governor or a non-governor member could be chair ( there has been some talk among the governors, that governors should chair, because of their direct commitment to the CFC, and their position puts on them a reporting obligation that may be less strong with a non-governor )?
I am especiallly interested in your views on this, as an Executive Candidate ( for Treasurer ).
Also, I note that no one has volunteered yet to sit on this Committee. Do we have a governor who would be willing to Chair this Committee, if the Executive should decide that the Chair need neither be an Executive member nor the new Public Relations Coordinator non-executive officer?
