About Committees
The Board of EBC creates Board committees to help do its work. These are distinct from Operations committees which are created by EBC staff members to help do operational work.
Examples of common not-for-profit (Governance) Board committees:
- Executive Committee
- Nominating Committee
- Board Development Committee
- Audit Committee
- Finance Committee
- Fundraising Committee
- Human Resources Committee
Examples of common not-for-profit Operations committees (or Administrative Board committees):
- Outreach & Engagement Committee
- Volunteer Development Committee
- Special Events Committee
- Program Committee
- Communications Committee
Both Board and Operations committees have open membership unless otherwise noted. Participation on each committee depends on your interests, skills, and experience that you'd like to gain. Each committee will form a Terms of Reference to describe the purpose of the committee, the time commitment involved, and other organizational factors. See below for EBC's template TOR that can be suited to each committee.
Effective committees require effective chairpersons to facilitate meetings. Please read EBC's Committee_Chair_Job_Description.
