How to Create a Committee

Committees are the lifeblood of organizational decision making. You can create individual committees to handle specific aspects of your community's affairs, with custom options for who and when different members can join.

1. In the Admin Panel, click Committees under Membership.
2. Click the + New Committee button to open the Committee Creation window.
3. Enter a committee Name and brief Description.
4. Use the Limited To dropdown to restrict membership: accept members from outside your organization, restrict to community members only, or limit to specific tags within your membership.
5. Optionally, add a Committee Image to appear on your website.
6. Optionally, require an Application using a custom form.
7. Optionally, set a Term Start Date and Term End Date to define how long the committee membership term lasts.
8. Designate Committee Leaders, and click +Add Another Title Role if you want additional leadership roles.
9. Click Save Committee to finish.

Note: Once a committee is created, the system automatically creates a tag for it and applies that tag to the profile of each committee member and leader. This auto-generated tag displays an asterisk before its name to differentiate it from manually created Admin tags.
