NVN Committees
Committees provide the structure and ideas that make our organization possible, and each committee needs NVN members to carry out its work. Because committees are small groups, they offer a good opportunity for members to share their interests and talents, to get to know other members, and to help shape NVN. Program • The Program Committee plans and schedules informational and social programs and activities. It also provides a liaison to work with community partners. Governance • The Governance Committee reviews and applies NVN’s policies and bylaws. The committee also seeks out and nominates potential board members. It provides an orientation for new board members as well as an evaluation of the functioning of the Board of Governors. Marketing & Public Relations • Marketing/PR develops and shares information about NVN with members and interested non-members, with the community, and with related organizations. Regular communications include the emailed Sunday Bulletin, fliers, a hard copy monthly calendar provided to members who do not use email, and ads in local publications. Membership • The Membership Committee works to develop recruitment materials and attract potential members as well as welcome and help integrate new NVN members. Small Groups • The Small Groups Committee coordinates and supports NVN's Neighborly Groups and special interest groups. |
"By virtue of getting involved with many of the activities at NVN, it’s given me a new lease on life. It gets me out of the house and actively involved with other seniors doing fun things that I would never get around to doing on my own." |
