Qualities and Habits of Functional Human Service Teams
Write a 2-page paper outlining how and why you would select members for one of the committees or the team listed below. The committee or team will function within a local community action group:
A committee dedicated to securing a financial grant for advertising a new housing program.
A team focused on recruiting volunteers to assist at a local food shelf.
A committee tasked with researching a new electronic system that tracks detailed data on clients' preferences of services.
In your paper, address the following questions:
Will you use an application process or simply appoint members?
What criteria will be used to select committee or team members?
Is diversity of organizational positions and skill sets required or desired? Give the rationale for requiring or desiring diversity for the committee or team members.
Are selection criteria based on length of service, job performance, or other factors?
Who will be responsible for setting overall goals and timelines once the committee is formed?
Use the readings from this module as a guide in your approach. Your paper must support your claims with at least three appropriate references.
