Committees are a key part of any organization's leadership. Due to their unique position within an organization, committees are often setup a bit differently than other types of groups. In addition to targeted emails and web pages, committees can be displayed on a web display similar to the Board of Directors page. This requires a particular setup in Group Manager and allows you to easily update the group members as your committee members change in the future.

Setup Committees

1. Go to Membership > Group Manager.
2. Click Add Subgroups on the Member Groups group. 
   
   
   
   

   Warning: Do not change the name of this group. The group must be named "Member Groups" in order to connect to Group Displays on the website.

3. Click Add a Subgroup.
   
   
   
   
4. Add the committee name to the Name field.
   
   
   
   
5. Click Add.
6. Click the Add a Subgroup button again.
7. Add the committee position to the name field and select the committee name from the "Subgroup of" drop-down menu.
   
   
   
   
8. Click Add. This will result in a position indented below the associated committee subgroup.
9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 to add all committees and committee positions.
10. Click Next.
11. Click Edit in the Assign Group Members area.
    
    
    
    
12. Open a position group (the ones that are indented). Begin to type the appropriate member's name, select them from the drop-down of matching members, and click Add.
    
    
    
    
13. Repeat step 12 until all members have been added to the appropriate position.
