NMRT Board Member Final Report
1.
Office Name: Vice-President
2. Office Term : 2004-2005
3.
Discuss/summarize your involvement with your committees this year:
Reviewing progress of
impending programs for the presidential year, reviewing committee volunteer
forms and assigning members and chairs to NMRT committees.
4. Based on your year's experience in this office, what future
directions do you see your office or NMRT needing to take this year or the
following year?
Depending on the outcome of the Organizational
Review and the decision of the Executive Board, there will be either a
restructuring or elimination of some NMRT committees.
A contingency plan is in place to incorporate
specific committees, such as Publicity being a main function of award and
social function committees. However, I see NMRT directors coordinating this
aspect in order ensure wide publicity is achieved. Should Diversity Committee
be eliminated from NMRT, it is my goal to create a “Diversity Project
Management Team” within Membership, Promotion and Relations Committee to
address the issue of “diversity” within NMRT.
Since my presidential year will focus on
“outreach” it is my intended goal to have most of the committees incorporate
that theme with respect to committee tasks.
5. What tips or
hints do you have that might help your successor carry out the duties of this
office?
I would suggest to the incoming vice-president
to solicit recommendations from the NMRT President, Directors, and chairs.
6. Please address the role of the board
member as coordinator. For example, with student outreach split
among three committees reporting to three directors, somebody will need to take
the initiative to make sure things are going smoothly. Another example would be
projects between membership, alumni, and student outreach which need to be
coordinated. How might activities such as this be handled by board members
efficiently and smoothly? Your thoughts here will be most helpful for future
boards.
Until the recommendations of the Organizational
Review are voted on by the NMRT Executive Board and implemented, it is
pointless in making suggestions based on the current NMRT organizational
structure.
