The coordinating committee model for mission is one of six sample models that may be modified according to your unit's needs and plans.

The Coordinating Committee model has four to seven committee members: two or three elected to specific positions and the others at-large. None of the sub-groupings have specific representation on the coordinating committee.

Coordinating Committee

This model tends to be an open and flexible structure. New subgroups can easily form for various lengths of time with this model.

Permanent subgroups may not have as much input into the overall organization as they do in other models, and communication among the various groups may be more difficult.
