Committees and Objectives

The FPA of NE Ohio has developed and implemented a leadership structure that has radically changed the progress we are making toward specific future goals. The Leadership System outines the following six steps: Fostering Trust, Creating Vision, Developing Strategy, Energizing Alliances, Activating Transformations, and Measuring Progress, Achieving Results, and Resetting the Vision. Work is progressing so rapidly, we have continual need for new member participation.

As our Board has worked with these values, a distinct leadership structure has emerged. Each Board Member is responsible for a committee which will take hold of and carry out the FPA of NE Ohio goals. The committees consist of committed members who volunteer their time on a regular basis to work on important issues. In turn, with each new project that is proposed, volunteers are drawn from the active membership pool to add to the number of members involved in local leadership and to the amount which can be accomplished.

The dynamic effects of this leadership structure include the ability to not only meet goals, but to surpass them and create new projects and accomplishments along the way. The Chapter is also teaching this system to sub-committees to provide continuity and continuance of goals for years to come. It is exciting to see our current leaders collectively committed to active leading! Changes for our future are phenomonal!

If you have a couple of hours to volunteer or are interested in serving on the Board or a Committee, scan over the committees and their strategies. We would invite you to complete a Chapter Leadership Volunteer Questionnaire. You may also email a board member directly or Lynn Bracic, Executive Director, at fpaneo@aolcom. If you would like a copy of the Leadership Team Manual for the FPA of NE Ohio, it can be downloaded in pdf format. The Job Descriptions are also available, but in Word format.
