Forming a Steering Committee
A steering committee is the name given to a group of people who share a common goal, namely, implementing a NHW programme in a particular area.
The steering committee is made up of 15-20 community volunteers whose function is to petition the proposed area to gauge community support for the NHW programme.
The above number of volunteers is in no way restricted. If you have more support, the easier the workload becomes. Conversely, if the number is less, then the greater the workload.
The steering committee, once formed, is addressed by the DCPC who will outline the programme, including members' tasks and responsibilities.
Owing to the heavy workload of the DCPC, it will be necessary for you to book a steering committee lecture with the DCPC well in advance - at least three weeks. This meeting will be held at your residence or at some other convenient venue as arranged by you.
It is your responsibility to form the steering committee and it is important that all steering committee members are available to attend this lecture.
