Legal Focus: Committees – Incubators of Projects and People
Committees are a critical component of every non-profit’s ability to get work done, achieve goals, and develop future leaders. The bylaws of all non-profits should identify the Standing Committees” that form the non-profit’s functional foundation. The bylaws should also have a process for establishing additional “Variable Committees” to address issues and needs that are equally important, but not necessarily foundational. Finally, the bylaws should also empower committees to establish “Sub-Committees” or “Task Forces” to address issues or needs that are important to the organization, but that may be only temporary in nature. Details about Standing Committees, Variable Committees, and Sub-Committees/Task Forces follow.
