Article #11: Building Effective Committees (Without Burning People Out)
Committees are where Rotary work happens—but poorly structured ones can drain energy and enthusiasm.
At RLI, we explore how to build committees that are clear, purposeful, and energizing.
Tips for better committees:
✅ Give each committee a clear mandate and timeline.
✅ Appoint chairs who are good facilitators, not just doers.
✅ Keep meetings short, focused, and action-oriented.
✅ Invite fresh voices and rotate roles.
When people feel like their time is respected and their contributions matter, they stay involved. And when committees run well, your whole club runs better.
