Join a Committee

PMAWM committees are the perfect venue to meet with your colleagues and help lead the organization. You can help contribute to our association's objectives as well add to your professional experience by volunteering to serve on a committee.

What is required of you?

• Actively participate in ensuring that the goals for the committee are achieved
• That you work with the Committee Chair and other committee members to fulfill the responsibilities as outlined and defined.  
• That you attend committee meetings, and communicate when you cannot (two absences with no call/email/general communication can result in being removed from the committee)
• Include Association Executive or PMAWM Staff Liaison in all committee communications.
• Encourage other members to participate in PMAWM social events, education classes, dinners, happy hours and special legislative events.

Committee Roles:

Committee Chair

The ommittee Chair maintains control of the meeting and leads the committee through the process of planning, implementing and evaluating the work of the committee. The Chair works with the PMAWM staff liaison to develop the meeting agenda and sets the tone for the committee work, assigning various tasks to the committee members, ensuring that members have the information needed to do their jobs. Minutes, annual evaluation of the committee and staff liaison are also integral parts of chairing a committee. Finally, the committee Chair is responsible for bringing any action items or reports to the Board. 

Committee Co Chair

A Co Chair should be ready to fulfill the role of the Chair if the chair is unable to attend or carry out their duties. The Co chair assumes the role, usually temporarily, and has the power to make committee decisions after receiving feedback from the committee members.  If the position of the Chair is vacant for any reason, the Co Chair takes over until a time when a new Chair can be appointed.

Committee Member 

The first and foremost responsibility of all committee members is to attend all meetings. After appointment to a committee, it is important for each new member to become familiar with the work of the committee, committee goals, the history, current agenda, and other members of the committee. The importance of committee work cannot be overstated: It allows our members to focus on a single area, discuss issues of importance and, when necessary, present action items to the Board of Directors. In short, being a productive member of the committee means the highest level of participation: through attendance, open discussion and a dedication to follow through on the work that will advance the goals of the committee and in turn PMAWM.
