Southwest College Bookstore Association
Committee Members

The Southwest College Bookstore Association prides itself in having the most effective and hard working committees in the industry.  The SWCBA Committees are comprised of dedicated members, as you, who give generously of their time and knowledge.  It is incumbent on committee members to participate, and everyone must pull their own weight and accept an individual share of the work.  You don’t have to be one of those eager beavers that wear everyone out with overkill in the enthusiasm department, but you should avoid being a bench warmer, too.

Participating as a Committee Member

• Successful and effective committees are ones that get to work quickly.
• Take an active interest in your committee’s work.
• Think creatively about the task at hand and offer suggestions for effective ways to achieve the objectives of the committee.
• Do your share without waiting to be asked, no matter what the task necessary to achieve the committee’s goals and purpose, take some of the load.
• Committee work is hands-on and usually involves some grunt work; don’t be too good for that.
• Remember that the higher you think your station is, the more valuable others will see your willingness to roll up your sleeves and wield the proverbial shovel.
• Show up for all meetings and be on time.  Everybody is busy and your time is no more valuable than any other member’s time.
• Set an example by being a loyal, working member of the team.
• Have a good time and enjoy the committee.

I promise to take an active interest in your committee’s work and to assist you with moving the SWCBA forward.
