Darcie Wharton, a new Oahu Wedding Association member and lead consultant for Royal Weddings by Lavender LLC (a coordination company), recently asked a wonderful question:
Great question, Darcie!
We have committees to encourage members to PARTICIPATE in the association and to share their knowledge and talents. After all, if everyone participated, it would make the organization much stronger, more productive, and more beneficial for all, wouldn't it?
Each committee has a distinct purpose, but the overall goal is to encourage you to become involved in your association, as well as to contribute your own talents. When deciding on a committee to join, choose the committee that best suits your own values and unique strengths, something you see yourself enjoying rather than dreading.
As a member of the MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE, you will help to make sure that members' experiences with the Oahu Wedding Association are worthwhile and meaningful. From the parties we throw to the followup afterward, you are there to answer questions and make people feel "at home." If you are outgoing, organized, love to meet new people, and like to make people feel good, this is the committee for you.
As a member of the COMMUNITY & SERVICE COMMITTEES, you will help to organize service projects that get OWA members out into the community to volunteer their time and talents for good causes. As corporate citizens, the association does its part to make an impact in this wonderful place we live in. If you like to help people, do good deeds, and make a difference, you belong in this committee.
As a member of the WEBSITE COMMITTEE, you help our webmaster & committee chair and the Blogsquad keep our website, blogs, Facebook, and Twitter accounts up-to-date and relevant. If you like to write, enjoy learning and sharing news (and gossip LOL), and want to "be current," this is the committee for you. (Having technical experience in HTML helps a lot too, but isn't really required. To keep up with the Blogsquad, having a great sense of humor is absolutely mandatory!)
If marketing and event planning are your specialties, then the MARKETING/SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE has a place for you! As a member of this committee, you help to decide how we promote the "Oahu Wedding Association" brand. Print ads or web? Tradeshows? Special events produced by OWA? Focus on the destination market this year or the local market? As a committee, you and your associates help to decide the feasability and efficiency of your association's marketing plan.
Whatever committee you join, the point is...JOIN! Choose the committee that best suits your values and strengths. Your participation and involvement makes our association better for you and for all. So join in the fun!
