Overview: • District Executive Day of Planning • Ongoing communication with District Vice Chairs & Chairs is a necessity. • Key 3 Meeting • Committee Meeting • Commissioner Staff meeting • Roundtable Meetings
17 District Key-3 Agenda Handouts • Sample Key-3 Agenda
Structure of Meeting • Unlike District Committee Meeting or Commissioner Meeting, the Key-3 meeting is run by the District Executive and is a time for him or her to communicate candidly the needs of the district to his or her top volunteers.
• These needs may include units that need immediate attention, or pressing volunteer vacancies.
• The Chair, Commissioner, and Executive each leave the Key-3 meeting with a “to do” list.
18 District Committee Meetings Handouts • Sample/Template for Committee Meeting District Committee Meeting Structure
• Coordination is the focus of the meeting, SO the agenda needs to reflect that focus.
• Operating Committee reports should provide for assessing progress and planning for month ahead.
• The district commissioner reports on the special needs of units and solicits the assistance of operating committees to meet those needs.
• District committee meetings should be conducted in a manner that provides some fellowship and builds morale, thus contributing to the committee’s sense of unity.
19 District Operation Vice Chair Meetings Handouts • Sample Membership Workplan Operating Committees (Membership/Program/Advancement/Training)
• Meet during month as needed.
• Committees could be given sufficient time at committee meetings for separate and simultaneous meetings in the first part of the district committee meeting agenda.
• AGENDAS - Check progress made by its members
- Create action plans for upcoming month.
- Meetings are the basis for each committee’s reports at District Committee Meeting.
- Chair gives leadership to whatever coordination may be needed among committees.
