TELEPHONE COMMITTEE

This committee is an important part of the section’s communication process. It has the responsibility to call the membership and related information about up-coming meetings, event, and any information deemed vital to the organization.

This committee is responsible for inviting ladies to join NCNW. The fiscal year is September 1 to August 31, and dues are $35.00 per year ($25.00 goes to national headquarters, $10.00 is membership to the Section with $2.00 of that going into the Cheer Fund).

This committee is responsible for keeping NCNW forever in the public eye. Announcements regarding all major events of the Section are to be publicized well in advance (one – two weeks). The articles should be well written or typed with a copy given to the president before send to the media. The committee chairman should always pay attention to the wording of all announcements so as not to embarrass our organization. Other committees needing this committee to make announcements should contact the chairman as soon as information is confirmed regarding the event.

This committee will develop a youth group of teenage girls between the ages of 14 – 18. This group will be governed by the Indianapolis Section and meet separately from the parent organization.
