The Academy is looking for a few good persons for a committee that will never meet...at least face-to-face.
The Town Hall Committee is the Academy's first electronic committee and will be asked to provide feedback to the Academy on issues presented by the Board of Directors. Committee members will not meet in the traditional sense. Instead, participants will likely be contacted two to three times during the year exclusively by email requesting their viewpoint on an issue or asking them to respond within 72 hours to a survey. All communication will be by email.
William W. Schumann, CPO was asked by Academy President Frank H. Bostock, MBA, CO, FAAOP to chair the virtual committee and help develop its role in offering opinions on issues, activities, or operational initiatives.
This is an exciting way to have the benefit of a committee without the expense and time commitments associated with holding meetings. Having the committee act as a rapid response group will provide the Board with valuable insight and understanding in a fraction of time most surveys normally take, Schumann predicted. The Board is interested in direct input from the members on all critical issues.
Members interested in being part of the Town Hall Committee should send an email to Bill Schumann at <Email Address Redacted> <mailto:<Email Address Redacted>>. Your response is requested by June 20.
