Hoping this is the best place to post this question! I had a conversation with our rescue founder yesterday about possibly adding a couple of committees within our board members areas of expertise.
We're a small rescue so input from other smaller rescues would be awesome, but I'm open to any input from you all!
My board member area is social media marketing and management. Not only do I make posts about new intakes, those available for adoption, but also sharing other important information and resources to our followers. I'm also in charge of looking for new fosters and do help out a lot with event planning.
Our founder suggested I start a committee of 2-4 people of my choosing to assist in the foster area search primarily in terms of reaching out to news and radio for sponsorships and publicity so that we can expand our radius of finding fosters. I'd give them tasks or things I needed done and ultimately have the final say on things and then I'd bring that information back to the rest of the board.
Same scenario as with event planning as our adoption coordinator really takes lead point on this while processing applications and having a full time job!
I'm wondering if other organizations are doing this, what that looks like and does it work/ beneficial or the opposite you've tried it and it just adds more work or not successful at all.
I'd like to get some input and what this could look like before bringing it to the rest of the board!
We're 100% volunteer based including us board members who all but 1 are fosters as well so committee members would also be volunteer based as well.
Thanks in advance for any input!
