As president, I actually authored in that the president appoints the chairpersons. I think that making a committee do it adds an unnecessary layer of complexity when sometimes things need to get moving fast.
When we do our volunteer form, people can check off 'Chair a committee' or 'future officer'. These are the people I contact first about heading up committees. Working so far.
Our bylaws actually give all officers power to create committees. They would appoint their own chairs when doing so. If we encounter problems, we will change it. The idea was to lessen the president's load a bit.
If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down. <img src=images/smilies/smile.gif>
our bylaws now state committee chairs are to be appointed by the pres. which I am not comfortable doing. We are hoping to change to a nomination committee, but have no idea what that means or entails. Can I get some feed back? Do I have people sign up for this at our first meeting?
Much of it is up to your own group to decide, depending on the activities and committees you have. And you'd also want to check your bylaws. But here are some old posts that might help you.
