Election and Evolving Committees

Constitution dictates how committee should function, refer back to yours if there is any confusion
Usually elected at the annual general meeting (AGM)
Nominations communicated to whole of centre (WOC) well in advance of meeting
Committee should analyse the current committee and review areas that they could fill (gaps) eg Age, gender and ethnic and cultural background.

Plan ahead when elections will take place to reduce losing large numbers on a committee at once
Some centres operate on a rolling centre structure for smooth transition
Clearly outline handover/induction process
To reduce disruption to the centre due to change in committee members previous members should pass on as much knowledge as possible to their replacement
Clearly outlined handover/induction process
Clear position descriptions
Use a committee member induction pack for all information.
