Sub-committees and working
groups are essential to the Club's success. Over the
coming 'fiscal year' each member is encouraged to be
actively involved in one sub- committee or working group
The guidelines to determine roles of the sub-committee:
Marketing
To promote our services and build an understanding of the
needs and aspiration of potential members and clients and
others that we are targeting. This will help the
development of our service and the ways in which they are
accessed.
The Lignum Vitae Club
has several target Groups to whom it wishes to market
itself and its services.
Some of the means we
intend to use to promote ourselves are:
(i)Leaflets : These will be aimed primarily at potential
members.
(ii) Information Pack : These are intended mainly for
those with whom we have a professional relationship such
as sponsors.
(iii) Advertising: This is aimed mostly at recruiting
volunteers and members. We will determine the best media
use.
(iv) Personal Contact: Aimed to raise the profile and
build relationship and a clear understanding of the Club.
We will also do profiling of Jamaican women i.e. what age
are they, what do they do for a living, where do they
live, what do they do in their spare time and what are
their motivation and views about supporting charities.
(v) Website: The Club's most impactful media. A dynamic
team is needed to oversee its development as the club
changes and develops to meet its new objectives.
