Rethinking Group Structures: Committees vs. Task Forces for Effective Program Management

Join us for an open discussion at NABE Atlanta 2004 as we explore the effectiveness of various organizational models, including committees and task forces. We'll address the challenges of outdated programs and sacred cows that need to be dismantled. Participants will share their experiences with committee structures, and the potential benefits of eliminating committees for more agile task forces. Discussion topics will also include sunset committees, strategic planning, and leadership changes to empower you to rethink your approach to group activities.
