COMMITTEES
We've all said it and heard it: everybody wants to "pound nails" and we can't find anyone to serve on committees. Yet, without strong, well functioning committees no affiliate can sustain a long-term house building and community building effort.
The committee process is very important to the long-term health and viability of an affiliate. Consider the "wheel" diagram. It is clear that if even one spoke of the wheel is weak or non-existent the affiliate's ministry will stall and may even breakdown.
A Habitat for Humanity affiliate carries out its work through operating committees appointed to perform the various tasks of the organization. Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Panhandle has seven basic operating committees. The seven basic operating committees are: (1) Fund Development and Public Relations Committee, (2) Family Selection Committee, (3) Family Support Committee, (4) Site Selection Committee, and (5) Building or Construction Committee (either "building" or "construction" are used to define this committee). (6) Volunteer Committee, and (7) Church Relations Committee.
