MBBPC ACTIVITY PLAN 2012

The following proposed activities are over and above the ongoing activities and process development related to conventions, volunteer awards and new / changed member groups.

Topic / Activity / Who / When
Volunteer Portal /
  • Populate with guidance, linked to rules, and other documents / processes / collateral, to cover main topics of relevance to member group committees (the topics we have reviewed plus any new high priority ones)
  • Get buy-in to the content - use consultation and/or advisory group approach
  • Mechanism so that content can be improved with input from member groups
  • Use spring convention as launch-pad
/ Maggie to
Ian to investigate priorities for missing guidance - Specific areas to be agreed / allocated at May meeting
Role-based communities /
  • establish role based communities for key member group committee roles (using portal), taking the ideas from Spring 2011 convention forward
  • establish a network and facilitate its use (e.g. on LinkedIn and/or the portal)
  • communicate with member groups so they are involved
  • specifically role-based working groups (mainly online) to develop induction / role-based training modules
  • consider, and if appropriate facilitate physical meetings (say once a year, potentially linked to convention)
/ Maggie is establishing the structure in the portal, and basic text / current role descriptions.
Further activities will be allocated later
Induction training
e:learning framework for volunteers - with potential for link to professionalism programme in future /
  • Develop induction training - role-based and generic for committee member - audio + slides
  • During 2012 establish an approach and pilot at least one training module
  • Role-based induction training (see above) would be the start-point for a potential e:learning framework
  • Involve e:learning SG and YPG
  • Initiate this as a programme (longer-term - with links to membership and professionalism)
/ James, Simin to take the lead and establish links with e:learning SG and YPG for this work
This would be a focus to start Q3 - with the aim of piloting one training module by end 2012
Professional Evangelism /
  • Develop TOR
  • Establish a working group
  • Use a softly-softly approach linking with other activities, involving CITP for example
