KWU Women’s Auxiliary Operating Guidelines

Kansas Wesleyan University Women’s Auxiliary meets quarterly (January, April, July and October). Dues of $20 per year are payable at the April meeting.

The group concentrates primarily on survival kits, a goodie bag ordered by parents for their student to be delivered during finals week. Other projects are considered as needed.

There will be one elected office, the treasurer.

Each meeting will be organized, planned and conducted by the elected leader. A chairperson and a vice-chairperson will be designated. The position of vice-chairperson has been added to conduct the committee’s duties in the absence of the chairperson. Each committee chairperson will have the following duties:

Select your own committee members.
Call a meeting of her committee members.
Along with committee members, decide place, date, time, etc. of their assigned meeting. The committee will, if they deem it necessary, secure entertainment or an informative speaker for the meeting. Each committee will notify members by invitation of the upcoming meeting.
A copy of the minutes taken by designated secretary shall be furnished to chairperson of the next committee within 30 days after the meeting. The new chairperson should be reminded that day that she and her committee members are responsible for the next meeting.

IF A COMMITTEE MEMBER IS UNABLE TO SERVE, IT WILL BE HER RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT. She will notify the chairperson of the name, address, and telephone number of her replacement.

Each committee has the latitude to plan and carry out its meeting in whatever manner it desires.
