George is a member of his church men's group. He misses one meeting and gets elected -- unanimously -- as the group's president. He is a good sport and accepts. However, he does not want to follow the conventional leadership pattern, which has led to declining membership and vitality. He wants to make a difference. But where does he start? How to Run a Committee or Organization is written for the Georges (and Georgias) of the church world, who sometimes take on leadership willingly and at other times have it thrust upon them. This manual helps church leaders plan, organize, and conduct meetings more smoothly and effectively -- and make the process more spiritually rewarding for everyone involved. Checklists, action plans, and sample agendas help leaders stay on track and use committee time more productively. The guide's humorous style gently suggests that running a church committee can be fun as well as important.
