The following are some of the Executive Committee’s accomplishments this past year.
- Executive Committee analyzed the interview process of several other Planning Councils by using best practices, our own ideas, and sound judgment to streamline the interview process. The new process will allow the committee to gather useful information from applicants to make informed decisions regarding their ability to serve on the Planning Council and our Standing Committees.
- Also, we have developed our mentoring program for the Consumer Council Committee, where new members are paired with one of the more experienced members who can assist with any issues or challenges that may arise for the new member.
We have an orientation process for new members. In this, the new member receives information on our meeting structure, Roberts Rules of Order, the Texas Open Meetings Act and the Ryan White Care Act legislation.
