We have 4 officers: Pres., V.Pres., Sec.& Tres. none of which chair a committee. We also have an excecutive board made up of the officers, 1 teacher rep. and 2 parent reps. (the 2 parent reps. usually chair 1 or 2 committees) The committees are divided up among the members quite a bit. We have one chairperson for each of the following: fall fundraiser, spring fundraiser, playground fundraiser, Box Tops, Campbell's, Shop'n Save Greenpoints, Shop'n Save receipts, Dean Chug lids, ink cartridge recycle, Craft Show, Chinese Auction, Spirit Sale (winter & spring) and that is just the fundraising! There are many more! We try to make everyone feel involved. I usually check in with everyone every once in awhile to make sure they are staying on schedule and such, but it helps to prevent any one person from being too overloaded.(except for little ol' me of course )

I am wondering how you all divide your duties. In our Home & School Association, there are 4 Executive Board Members and 8 Members-at-Large. The Executive Board Members (Pres, V.P, Sec, and Treasurer) are not required to chair any committees, though we do help out on several committees.

Our 8 Members-At-Large are each required to chair/co-chair 2 Committees. It has been running pretty smoothly as we seemed to make sure that each person has one bigger committee and one smaller one.

My question to you is mainly concerning our Fundraising Committee. I am considering changing the requirements for that one. Whomever Chairs this committee would not be required to chair another as the Fundraising process seems to be ongoing throughout the year. We have a Fall Fundraiser that is huge, we have Box Tops and Soup Labels that are continuous, we have School Supply Kit sales, and we have a Spring Fundraiser all chaired by the Fundraising Chair. As you can see, this is quite a lot of work.

I'd just be interested in knowing how the rest of you divide your Committees. Thanks for sharing.
