I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) http://www.socialworkers.org/ http://www.naswtx.org/ South Plains branch. I have been on the steering committee for more than 10 years. I do not recall how long I have been on the steering committee. I have been helping with the yearly workshop we do since the early 1990's. We have a really good steering committee. We do not meet often, and we do a lot of business by email. We all know our duties and follow up on them as we understand our duties to be. We are a strong steering committee.
There is one downfall of having such a strong steering committee. Because we do, we do not bring in other members often. One of the ways to increase participation and activity in a group is to give people assignments and responsibilities. This give people ownership. We need to be more conscious of doing this.
