Not only Board members should be organised. Every
local operates more efficiently if it is well structured
and its members are busy with their tasks.
A basic task division is therefore crucial; in your local
the following might be important:
1. Clear board task division
2. Clear decision which board member chairs
which commissions
3. Continuous flow of information between
board and to members via email, newsletter,
meetings etc.
