Transcript Committee Restructuring Discussion

Restructuring NACCHO
Advisory Committees
An Update
April 4, 2006
Why Restructure?
a) It is fun to play with org charts
b) “Just felt like a change”
c) Pat had nothing else to do
d) A high paid management consultant told
us to try it
e) We can increase member involvement,
rationalize work plans, and tie work more
closely to the NACCHO Strategic Plan
April 4, 2006
Why Restructure
NACCHO Committees are critical to the
NACCHO vision of being “the national
voice of local public health”
How can we maximize the use of
Committees, inform our work and move
the NACCHO Strategic Plan forward?

Background
Workgroup formed Spring 2005
Asked to make recommendations
concerning:
– Strategic Direction #5: Enhance NACCHO’s
infrastructure to achieve its mission
Objective #5.1: Achieve and maintain highly
effective and diverse board, forum, and committee
leadership.
April 4, 2006
Findings
Current structure is
– Confusing
– Difficult to track,
manage, and staff
– Conducive to
overlapping work
plans and duplication
of effort
– Not well linked to the
Strategic Plan
April 4, 2006
Findings
Member expertise, interest and involvement can
be expanded to better guide NACCHO’s work
Members’ needs can be better aligned with
funders’ objectives
Staff support can be better allocated to support
Committee work
The interface between Committee work and the
Board of Directors can be improved
April 4, 2006
Findings
Committees should be a
resource for the policy
development and review
process
Related work among
committees suggests
clustering
External liaisons should be
linked to NACCHO

Pros
Expanded member involvement
Enhanced strategic oversight
Clear lines of responsibility and
accountability
Better, more efficient use of NACCHO
staff
Flexible structure reflects strategic
priorities
Standardized language
April 4, 2006
Cons
Change from a familiar structure
Implementation will require focused
attention over the next two years
Do not have all the answers at the
outset
April 4, 2006
Remaining Challenges
Effectively moderating time commitment
for chairs and members
Coordination between ESC and SDT
Working relationships between
workgroups and ESC or SDT need to be
further explained
Aligning funding with Committee
Structure
Stepping through implementation
between now and the Annual
Conference

What does this mean for ME?
April 4, 2006
What does this mean for ME?
Current members rotating off may express
interest in new assignment via Interest
Survey
Members appointed to groups in the new
structure based on Chair and staff
recommendations and individual
preferences
April 4, 2006
Next Steps
Subject to NACCHO
Board of Directors
approval
Logistics of
appointment process
currently being
worked out
April 4, 2006
Next Steps
Communication with you by lead
committee staff
Watch for member interest survey
Announcements in Public Health Dispatch
and NACCHO Exchange
April 4, 2006
What we have yet to figure out
How and when ESC, SDT and
Workgroups will “meet”
Move from current work plans toward
more “strategic oversight” activities
Fiscal/staffing resources needed to
implement
April 4, 2006
When successful
Demonstrate ESC, SDT and Workgroup
contributions to NACCHO’s work
More members are involved; more “voice”
in NACCHO’s work
Fewer places where Committees and
Teams overlap; logical “homes” for policy
and project work
