Bringing People In

from The Committee Room · host Kate Hartwig and Kate McPhee

You've just been elected to the committee. Someone slides a 100-page manual across the table and says, read through this when you get a chance. Three months later you're still not sure what your role is, who does what, or why half the things you're voting on are even necessary.In this episode Kate H and Kate M make the case that induction is a process, not a document — and that it starts well before anyone's been elected. They cover what goes in the manual and why each item is there, the nomination checklist that sets expectations before the election, the personal welcome letter that sets the tone, the pre-meeting coffee where induction really comes alive, and the dedicated induction meeting that gives the whole committee a useful annual reset.
