OPERATIONS COMMITTEES

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

The ECHO Network is intentionally inclusive of all perspectives in the community (defined by sector, race/ethnicity, age, etc.). The Membership Committee is responsible for recruiting potential members and making nominations to ECHO Teams. The Teams need individuals who understand the importance of building strong relationships as a part of the process to get to the more action-oriented accomplishments.

ANTI-RACISM COMMITTEE

The Network recognizes that social capital cannot be built without talking about racism, particularly the kind that subtly permeates our institutions. The Anti-Racism Team, guided by Crossroads Ministry and the Winston-Salem Institute for Dismantling Racism, offers ongoing assistance to the Network to develop our structure in a way that does not perpetuate structural racism. This work includes helping build awareness of issues of racism, educating and fostering community dialogue about racism, and partnering with other entities working to dismantle racism.

MARKETING/OUTREACH COMMITTEE

This committee focuses on educating the community about social capital as well as the efforts of the ECHO Network. The goal is to develop messages, images, stories, and activities that encourage participation in social capital building.

In addition, this committee develops and implements approaches that engage the larger community in the work of building social capital. Its first efforts were to organize the conversation groups as a way to bring diverse people together to discuss issues and get to know each other.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE

It is important to monitor and evaluate how our programs help us fulfill our mission within the community. The program committee was convened to look at our current efforts and assess our capacity to develop new efforts. This committee is also charged with vetting ideas for new programs, an important role within the Network.

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE

This committee develops and implements fundraising strategies for programs and operations of the ECHO Network.
