Election:

• Constitution dictates how committee should function, refer back to yours if there is any confusion
• Usually elected at the annual general meeting (AGM)
• Nominations communicated to whole of club (WOC) well in advance of meeting
• Committee should analyse the current committee and review areas that they could fill (gaps) eg Age, gender and ethnic and cultural background.

Evolving:

• Plan ahead when elections will take place to reduce losing large numbers on a committee at once
• Some clubs operate on a rolling club structure for smooth transition
• Clearly outline handover/induction process
• To reduce disruption to the club due to change in committee members previous members should pass on as much knowledge as possible to their replacement
• Clearly outlined handover/induction process
• Clear position descriptions
• Use a committee member induction pack for all information.
