3. How do you plan to help committees address the four NMRT goals? (If it does not apply, put N/A.)
By aiding them in fulfilling their goals and charges and keeping an eye out for networking opportunities or chances to work with other groups. I strive to be accessible, knowledgeable and helpful about NMRT generally and their committee tasks and charges specifically.
4. How do you plan to create a positive committee experience? What type of support do you plan to provide to chairs and committee members, and how often do you plan to provide such support?
I'm very accessible to my chairs via email, phone, and IM. I keep in regular contact and ask them to do the same, especially with keeping me up to date regarding committee activities. If I haven't heard from a committee at least monthly I check in with the chair. If needed or requested I offer advice and suggestions. I also act as a resource for NMRT generally and liaise as needed with other officers, committees, and members. I try to be a positive, informed, and helpful presence to my committee chairs.
5. What future directions do you see your office or NMRT
needing to take this year or the following year? What kind of strategies do you
envision for addressing projects that affect committees outside of your
supervision?
None at this time—just keep the lines of communication open and work together as best we can.
