Throughout the year, members of the district board serve a secondary role as a committee member. There are 2 kinds of committees board members can serve on: Standing, and Half-Year.
Standing Committees run all year from the beginning of April, until the end of District Education Conference. These committees are broad in topic, and have directives and focuses set forth by the District Governor, District Administrator, and Assistant District Administrator.
Half-Year Committees run for a portion of the year, and are specific to certain events. For the first half of the year, committees are focused on Fall Rally and Regional Training Conferences. The second half committees focus on DECON and MidWinter Training.
What Are Member Representatives?
It is mandatory for district board members to serve on committees, however, we also encourage general members to join our Standing Committees as Member Representatives (Reps). Member Reps are responsible for assisting the committees with larger initiatives surrounding international programs, district service programs, and more.
Being a Member Rep is a great way to get involved at the district level without having to run for a district board position. While Member Reps are not formal voting members, they are able to attend committee meetings and work with committees on projects that go on throughout the service year.
