  51. The chairs and vice chairs have been discussing merging the two committees and the subdividing the two committees to make small groups of maybe four committees and each week we will have jobs and objectives to do I was just wondering what your thoughts were. – I like the idea of making a list of goals at the beginning of the year and working down that list. – There were different ideas that were brought up the chairs would then make a list of projects and then we would divide and have helpers for each chair.- Another option would be dividing it up into small groups to work on. - I do want to say the governmental relations committee should be talking about this in their next meeting at look at how they would like them to be changed.
