Hi All,
I want to mention some GLAMAA support activities that have (historically) been performed by volunteers rather than officers. That is, the tasks were not specific to an existing office but were needed or desired. The volunteer approach was taken rather than expanding the duties of an office or creating a standing committee. The following list may not be complete, it is only what I recall.
sunshine: acknowledgement and expression to alumnus or family during crisis
web master: creation and maintenance of a web site
web services: filing for site name, site hosting, recurring fees
contact list maintenance: update and distribution of contact list
notices: distribution of info to alumni
mail: receipt of and distribution of USPS items
mail: maintenance of a postal address
email: maintenance of email system
phone messages: maintenance of phone message system
Tiger Tales newsletter: guest editor
In some organizations the mission, goals, and guidelines for the authority, limitations, and protocols are available either in writing or by understanding of the institution involved; for example, a lawyer belonging to a legal association probably doesn't need lots of framework when performing on an ad hoc committee. Not true for an organization like ours; the only common experience that can be assumed is that everyone attended the same undergraduate institution at some time.
As we embark upon rebuilding, rejuvenating, and cleaning house maybe we should work as a team with many star squads, rather than a team with many stars?
Best wishes,
Calvin
