2025-2026 Goals

Identifying Volunteer Needs

Each committee will identify and write at least two new specific volunteer role descriptions, using the Association’s existing template. These roles should reflect real, needed tasks (not general committee membership) and be submitted by January 1st, 2026. This will help us clarify our needs, improve volunteer onboarding, and be ready for outreach when opportunities arise. This will be completed by the following committees: Communications, Executive, Finance, History, Picnic, PIL Hall of Fame, Scholarship, and Veterans.

Board Participation

Using the newly updated board roster, the Executive Committee will assess current board member engagement, specifically noting committee involvement and other forms of active contribution. Based on this assessment, the Executive Committee will develop and communicate a formal participation policy that defines minimum expectations for board membership, including active involvement in at least one committee. The policy will be shared with the full board at the September 2025 board meeting for review and discussion. After incorporating board feedback, the Executive Committee will present a finalized version for approval at the January 2026 board meeting. Following this, board members who do not meet the stated expectations will be contacted. This goal ensures that board membership reflects active commitment to the work of the RHSAA and strengthens the board’s capacity and accountability moving forward.

Committee Vision & Planning

Each committee will hold a planning session to articulate its long-term vision, goals, and priority projects. Committees will be encouraged to reflect on their purpose, identify realistic projects aligned with their current capacity, and outline next steps. The Executive Committee will provide a simple guiding worksheet or template to support these conversations and will collect brief summaries from each committee by March 2026. This goal empowers committees to work with more intention and clarity, helping align their work with RHSAA’s overall mission and strengthening internal collaboration. This will be completed by the following committees: Communications, Executive, Finance, History, Picnic, PIL Hall of Fame, Scholarship, and Veterans.
