Our Committee
The Meredith Community Centre is governed by a volunteer community based Committee of Management. This is made up of Members of the Association who are elected at the Annual General Meeting usually held in May each year
Responsibilities
The Committee has a governance role and is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organization and developing its Policies and Procedures.
The role of our committee of management is to:
- determine direction and policies for the Meredith Community Centre
- determine programs
- develop and implement policy regarding the selection and management of all paid staff
- enter into an employment contract with all staff paid by the Centre and ensure the legal and commonly accepted responsibilities of an employer are carried out
- determine clear arrangements for the accountability, management and support of staff and volunteers.
OUR MEETINGS
Our meetings are usually no more than two hours.
Between meetings, all authority to act for the organisation is delegated to the manager so that the day-to-day operation of the Centre continues.
The bi-monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of that month commencing at 10:30am.
We welcome members of the Community who may be interested in being on the Committee and we would consider changing meeting times if you are interested in joining us.
