Committee questionnaire

Dear Committee Chair,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Temple’s Executive Committee to ask your assistance in obtaining information about the current status of your committee and activity of your committee during the past fiscal year (July 1, 2018-June 30, 2019). The Board of Trustees recognizes the major contributions that the activity of our committees add to the strength of our congregation. As a member of the Executive Committee, I have been charged to complete a study of all actively listed committees at Beth Israel to identify their membership, goals, activities, budgetary requirements, and to define their purpose. Our goal is to enhance and further strengthen the involvement of our members in our congregational community and to determine whether the description of each committee is still consistent with congregational objectives as reflected in our Bylaws.

Our hope is that at the end of our study, we will be able to make recommendations regarding committee organization and purpose that will be in concert with the goals, priorities, and strategic plan of Beth Israel.

I am attaching a brief questionnaire and ask that you complete and return it by Friday, August 9. The information that you provide will be valuable in making sure we not only are able to accurately communicate the role of each committee to our congregants but also increase our sensitivity to the interests and activities that our committees feel are important.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in providing the requested information.

Marsha Stein

Vice President, Beth Israel
