IMPORTANT ITEMS TO REMEMBER

Many of the items mentioned below are already in practice and may be common sense but they need to be written so that everyone can review them on a regular basis. 

1. All committee and liaison efforts shall focus on REACT's mission statement: "The mission of REACT International is to provide public safety communications to individuals, organizations, and government agencies to save lives, prevent injuries, and give assistance wherever and whenever needed. We will strive to establish a monitoring network of trained volunteer citizen-based communicators using any and all means to deliver the message". 
2. Coordinate projects and efforts with various committees and liaisons, when appropriate, to avoid duplication of effort and to maximize results.
3. Inform the Executive VP of progress on various committee and liaison projects and opportunities, especially when representing REACT International. 
4. Write frequent informational articles for the REACTer to keep the membership informed of committee and liaison actions and their impact upon the membership. 
5. Committees and liaisons will be responsible for all details necessary for project proposal and submittal for action as required. Respective committees and liaisons may be responsible for implementation of projects after project approval, if required. Committees and liaisons may also be responsible to promote their projects to various group(s) for implementation when necessary.
6. Committee and liaison email communications should be carefully directed, specifically regarding the REACT L list and other public venues. Many times it is not necessary, and may create premature and unwanted discussion regarding certain topics if discussion among committee members is sent via a list. These lists are good venues to distribute information about completed projects. This suggested procedure isn't secrecy, it is the efficient use of email communications in the operation of your particular group.
7. Committees and liaisons are asked to monitor the REACT L list and similar discussion groups for ideas concerning particular projects and the thoughts of various REACT members.
8. All committee chairpersons and liaisons shall submit reports to the RI BOD, 30 days prior to their Annual Meeting (normally February) and the Annual Convention (normally July) of each year. Reports shall include various activities since the last report and request for BOD action, if any. Proper support for such action must be submitted also.  
9. Be Active all year, not just at the Convention.
