Chilliwack Fish and Game is a volunteer organization that requires the support of its membership to achieve its objectives and to provide an outstanding recreational facility that we all can enjoy. Much needs to be done to get the club up to standard in various areas. Currently, some essential functions are not being performed because there is nobody to do them and/or those responsible for them are overtasked.
Work in a Club such as ours is normally done via committees which are groups of people committed to a specific aspect of club activity. These committees are not necessarily large and are comprised of mutually supporting members, under supervision of the Board, who advise the Board on their area of focus.
The key to being successful is to spread the effort around to a large number of volunteers so the work involved for each person is manageable for somebody who already has commitments, such as work and family. The Board therefore is recruiting volunteers to build the capacity required and the first step is to create these committees. Below are position descriptions for committee chairpersons we are seeking and would welcome hearing from any interested members.
