Development Committee Description

Sub Committees
Objective

The Development Committee is charged with developing, monitoring and implementing NALMS products, services and program activities.  In addition, the Development Committee has been given responsibility for capacity building of the Society through membership and product marketing planning. 

Organization

The Committee chair is appointed by the President.  Committee members may be recommended to the NALMS President by the committee chair.  Members from both lake professionals as well as lake users are desirable to provide balanced representation of NALMS member groups.

Activities and Procedures

The Committee should accept direction from the NALMS President and Board of Directors for identified NALMS needs that fall into the purview of the committee as specified above.  Annually, the committee should develop objectives to be accomplished in the upcoming calendar year and present them to the Board at the annual meeting. 

Critical elements for the Development Committee initially are the development of marketing plans to build membership and sell NALMS products.  Both of these objectives are intended to increase NALMS revenues and provide a stable financial base for the Society. 

The Development Committee may request a budget from NALMS for the accomplishment of specific objectives that requires Executive Committee or Board of Directors approval annually.
