Hey there! So, you wanna know how to add committees to your board pro like a champ, huh? Well, buckle up buttercup because we’re diving into a wild ride of meetings, snacks, and probably some awkward silences. You know how every superhero has a sidekick? Yep it’s the same with boards. Committees are like those reliable buddy sidekicks who help you save the day…or at least help your board not get completely lost in the meeting jungle. Here we go!
Start With A Crazy Idea
So, first thing’s first, you gotta think of something that sounds super cool, right? Like adding a committee isn’t just for boring types in suits.
Think about fun stuff that needs doin’. Maybe you need a Snacks Committee! C’mon everyone loves snacks. Or how about an Events Committee who plans epic parties? Get creative! Your board doesn’t have to be all serious faces all the time.
Get The Peepz On Board
Now that you have this awesome idea and some cool committees in mind, go find your board peeps. But wait! Don’t throw confetti just yet.
You gotta make sure they’re on board too (pun totally intended). Hold a casual meetup or sneak it into a convo when you’re grabbing coffee. Just say “Hey wanna chat about snacks?” And watch their eyes light up. Boom! You got them!
Define The Duties…But Make It Fun
And now it gets real. You gotta say what each committee will do but make it sound super fun so nobody is snoozin’.
For example: “Snacks Committee—Responsibilities include taste-testing cookies from different countries every week.” Sounds way better than just “meeting monthly to discuss snacks”, right?
Send Out An Invite (With A Twist)
Next up is sending out invites to join these committees. But don’t just do boring ol’ emails – yawn!
Make it exciting! Create silly memes or cartoon flyers and distribute them. Everyone loves a good chuckle. Picture this: “Do you love cookies more than life itself? Join our Snacks Committee!” They can’t resist that.
Pick Superheroes For Each Committee
Once people sign up, it’s time for team building! Now pick “superheroes” for each role like some goofy movie cast.
You could have Captain SnackAttack leading the Snacks Committee and Eventzilla running things for events! Give them fun titles like “Chief Cookie Officer”. It’ll make ‘em feel important but mostly it’ll make everyone laugh.
Set Up Some Catchy Meetings
Now that the committees are forming, we gotta talk meetings. Meetings are where dreams either get made or go to die—so let’s spice em up!
You could start every meeting with a funny icebreaker game or tell dad jokes (the cheesier the better). If they’re laughing at dad jokes about socks and sandals then they are way more likely to stay engaged about boring stuff later on.
Celebrate The Wins
And don’t forget to celebrate the small wins along the way even if it’s ridiculous like “We successfully tasted 10 types of chips last week.” Popsicles for everyone!
Do little celebrations after each committee wraps up their tasks ’cause people love feeling appreciated and also food is involved so win-win.
Make Room For Feedback
Finally it’s essential to keep things going strong by asking for feedback regularly from everyone involved but in chill ways instead of formal surveys.
You can drop hints like “Did anyone think our snack options were terrible?” Or throw in fun questions like “If we had to give our event planning committee an award what would it be?” People love chit-chatting when there’s no pressure right?
