Committee Education

Hi Everyone 

Its the first week of August and I'm just checking in to see if anyone has time to review the charter and give feedback. 

Thank you,

Hi Tina,

Is this in Google Docs for us to review?  I do not use Google Docs in my business, so I do not get into it on a regular basis.

Hi, @Tina Leonard!

I am reviewing this and have some general comments to share on a section-by-section basis.

• Goals - these seem to fall into three categories... "not something I've observed us do," "we do a little of this," and "we definitely do this." How in-depth do we need to get when providing feedback on the document?
• Membership & Organization - this makes sense to me. No high-level comments here, but have some comments.
• Annual Projects, Metrics, and Milestones - one thing that seems to be missing from here is a transparent system to ensure the required projects, targets/metrics, or responsibilities are to be tracked, scheduled, or achieved. As in - there's not a "Sytems" section that outlines how to properly track, manage, or measure the things tasked to the committee. 

I suppose the only thing I would say is that I'm looking at this from the perspective of someone who has been on the committee for roughly two years at this point. Any commentary is going to lack any history the precedes when I rolled onto the committee.

With some feedback on the above, bulletpoints, I can provide more in-depth feedback. :)

Basil 

Thank you taking the time to review. Sorry I wasn't clear but we need to fill out our goals, objectives and timelines. This is just an outline and we need to add to it. 

If you'd like to have a 1:1 to get some ideas down and onto paper let me know, I have availability this week. 

Thank you

I feel like with Brian's and Alnoor's comments, I can get behind what they're saying. I'd also echo Alnoor's comments on the use of the word "curriculum." Great points.

My biggest challenge that I have with the charter is a system for tracking the goals, ownership, and, to Tina's point, a timeline to achieve them. I don't think that any of these necessarily need to be immortalized within a charter, so if you want to stop reading here for today's meeting - that's fair.  =^)

I've been stuck in "operations" mode for too long as of late, so execution on said goals is where my mind immediately goes. I think the goals are good with the previous commentary, but without some mechanism to use against a goal, there's not much in the way of visibility or accountability. If we break this down to some best practices from a project management standpoint (and implements some of those), then we can get some better visibility on deadlines, tasks that need to be done, etc.

Thank You Everyone for your input! 

There has been some changes to the document. I've swapped out that very bad word of "educational curriculum" and have replaced with BENCHMARK. Hopefully that is not as offensive. ;) 

I've made some changes based on all of your input and would ask that you review when you get a chance. Anne has added her suggestions which gives us a very good layout for each quarter of what we should be doing and what our tasks should be. 

Our goals and objectives are loose, so that each year during Q2 the committee can review and define what those goals for the year should be. I see those as changing each year as 90Minds grows. 

 Let me know what you think by 08/22, I'd love to wrap this up and be done with it for the year.

Tina - Is there a Google Docs link to the changed document or an updated PDF you attached? I'm only seeing the original PDF you attached on this HL thread but also very possible it's in plain sight and I missed it.

This is quite good now. I believe it's a document very representative of the committee. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it. Only 1 issue to fix which is Goal 5 Quality Assurance still has a leftover cuss word in it (curriculum). You could change / rearrange the sentence like this: 

"Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of educational content, programs and speakers to maintain high standards and relevance."
