Steering Committee
The Steering Committee will consist of a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 16 members. Meetings are held monthly and any member who is absent for more than 3 meetings in a calendar year will be rotated off the committee. Committee members will commit to participate for a 2-year term. In order to keep ideas fresh, it is hoped that new committee members will be recruited and some older members will go off the committee annually. In order to maintain continuity, it is suggested that in January, 4 current committee members rotate off and 4 new come on.

The suggested process will be to automatically rotate off current members who have not been active, and then ask for volunteers from the rest of the group who would like to rotate off the committee to meet the suggested number of 4. Volunteers will be taken from those members who have served the longest first, and then from the newest members. If more or less than the suggested 4 members rotate off or remain on the committee, the committee will follow this natural order and review the process in January. Those who volunteer to rotate off will also commit to helping recruit a replacement from WIN's membership. This volunteer process will occur at the September committee meeting and vacancies will be announced at the September luncheon.
