Standing Committees
An effective Standing Committee is a motivated, energetic and innovative group of members who can apply their abilities to their areas of interest. Standing Committees work in cooperation with the Local’s, President’s office and the Executive Board. They identify topics, programs and issues that are important to the membership, the community, the Local Union, the International Union and labor movement as a whole. They develop plans and proposals for activities and, when approved by the Local Union’s Executive Board, carry out those plans. Standing Committees also are obligated to report out at membership meetings on the progress of their activities and future plans.
