How to retain committee members

The wheels on the bus go round and round...

A committee is like a bus. It has a driver, and a team of people who are all riding the bus and hopefully it has a clear direction for where it's headed. 

However, road blocks can make for a rough ride. It's hard to get new people to volunteer or get a more diverse group to get involved, retain enthusiasm when issues crop up, not to mention the normal challenges of getting a group of people to work effectively together.

Have no fear - we have a guide to keep those wheels turning! With helpful tips and suggestions gathered from people that work on successful community venue committees, this guide focuses on ways to get the most out of people.

The resource can be downloaded once you submit the form below:

Sustainability

We believe that there are plenty of spaces and it’s not always necessary to build more. By utilising existing assets more efficiently and by making it easier to book spaces online, we all play a part in a more sustainable future.

Local Economies

We believe in the importance of driving growth to local area economies. By providing a means for people to access local spaces, we hope to stimulate a buzz of activity within towns, precincts & localities . We believe that when local economies thrive, communities come to life.

Community Connection

We believe space activation plays an important role in community development and building connectedness between people.It is through this that we work towards building a supportive, inclusive and diverse society.
