New and Improved
Recently, Arizona Masters changed the committee structure for our organization. This may not sound like a worthy news item but it is important to how our LMSC functions. After all, for the 900 or so members of Arizona Masters, this will have a positive impact that will touch all of us.
The Committee on Committees (yes, we had a group by that name) decided to consolidate various functions into four groups. The goal is to have committee members work together and share the workload related to a particular area. Each committee would have a chairman who would provide the guidance to the other members of the group. The Board of Directors would in turn provide guidance and assistance to the committees.
So why does this matter? Working together is better than working alone, especially when there are a lot of tasks to complete. Members can share their ideas, talent, and experience in a setting where they can all contribute to the success of the committee. While swimming is an individual sport, for organizations like ours success is a team effort.
The following is the current AZ LMSC Committee Structure:
