Board Committees

by Cynthia M. Adams, CEO, GrantStation.com

Every board works with a set of committees: finance committee, program committee, development committee, etc. Some of these are permanent committees (standing), whereas others are temporary (web design committee).

Develop a short job description for each committee much like the bio for each board member. If others besides board members serve on these committees (and I encourage this, as it is a great way to groom new board members), be sure and develop a bio on each of them, as well.

Again, these short descriptions and bios can be used as you develop your grant requests.

Using this kind of concrete information always helps build credibility for your organization in the eyes of the grantmaker.
