I'm trying to devise how to ask this question without sounding totally
off-base.

 

Do you have trustee committees that are charged with oversight  for
events or programs, but they do not actually participating in making the
events happen (not an operating committee?)

 

What do they do? How do they achieve "oversight." - just act as a review
board for the final report, do they make recommendations to the larger
board on the events,  do they make the decision to kill or expand
programs?

 

We've got a committee that at one point had become a group of folks who
simply listened to staff reports on events. Now we are all trying to
hammer out a more productive purpose.

 

Any models out there?
