Committee Objectives and Deliverables Making steady progress on deliverables? Concerned you will not deliver on all of them? What obstacles or challenges have you encountered so far? How have you navigated around them? Has anyone had to adjust their deliverables? If so, how?

Dealing with Non-performing Committee Members How do you address your non-performers? Are the INTA Guidelines helpful and effective? How do you encourage and facilitate participation? How do you empower and support your subcommittee co-chairs to handle non-performers? Have you conducted a 360 review of your leadership with your sub-committee co-chairs and staff liaison? Are you empowering and mentoring your subcommittee leaders and committee members? Are the non-performers failing to perform as a result of your leadership?

Succession Planning Vice Chairs tend to succeed the Chairs for the next term (but this is never guaranteed) For Committee Chairs: How are you shepherding your Vice Chair to hopefully be an effective Chair for the next term? For Committee Vice Chairs: What types of experience or knowledge would you like gain during the last half of the term to better prepare you if you become the next committee chair?

Have you Identified Potential Candidates to Nominate? Nominations It’s your RESPONSIBILITY to nominate rising stars from your committee Future Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs are selected by the Nominating Committee and the Board based on Nominations Committee Vice Chair for your committee Committee Chair or Vice Chair for another committee What are you doing to cultivate these rising stars? Have you Identified Potential Candidates to Nominate?

Developing Rising Stars They may be just regular members, not in leadership roles currently They may be ready for sub-committee leadership or other leadership opportunities in the next term How are you identifying rising stars Special projects, sub-projects for a larger deliverable Practice by leading small groups or 2 or 3+ Other methods? How are you cultivating them? (even if through your sub-committee leaders) Such as sub-committee leaders or on other committees or project teams Especially if you will be moving to a different committee in the next term How will you advocate for them for future leadership roles?

Thinking Ahead for Transition… It’s Never Too Early To Plan Which deliverables and objectives are likely continue into the next term? How will you capture the progress made this term so that the next team can build on this work rather than reinvent the wheel? What other ideas do you have to facilitate an effective transition?

Resources and Training What do you know now that you wish you knew at the beginning of the term? What resources would you have liked to been provided at the beginning of the term? What resources do you still need? What training do you wish committee chairs, vice-chairs, and sub-committee co-chairs had to prepare for these roles?

Board Perspective What should committees actually achieve and prioritize? How can Chairs and Vice Chairs better empower committee members? How important are nominations from Chairs and Vice Chairs? How to craft meaningful nominations? What criteria is important to the Nominating Committee? Recommendations for identifying and advocating for rising stars? Other ways to advocate for the rising stars if they’re ready for a committee chair or vice chair role yet?
