Yes, please write job descriptions for your committees. See examples in the Free Download Library on this website. And if it’s a board committee, your board adopts the job description. Include these components:
Committee name | Reports to (board of directors if it’s a board committee) | Composition (for example, 5 – 7 members including board members and non-board members) | Meeting frequency (don’t get carried away with meetings!) | Purpose of the committee (a couple sentences!) | Accountabilities (And now you list the specific responsibilities.)
