Organization Committee

Who Needs the Organization Committee Do?

"The Main Street program is already organized, so why have a committee?" is a typical reaction of newcomers. But the Organization Committee plays a key in keeping the board, committees, staff, and program of work in good shape by attracting people to the organization. To succeed your committee must take responsibility for managing the financial and logistical aspects of a nonprofit organization.

The Organization Committee's Main Goals Are:

• Raising money — for projects and administration, from donations and sponsorships
• Managing staff and volunteers — by recruiting people, supervising them, and rewarding good work
• Promoting the program to downtown interests and the public
• Managing finances by developing good accounting procedures
