      1. Benefits: share the load, avoids confusion, helps with handover, working with administration
      2. Cons: 3 year commitment!
   3. Committee membership: according to plan, will be worked out with the directors (Danianne’s direct reports)
      1. “At Large”: consider how it is defined, what is role? Group of “leads”

      2. Public Services meetings: community of practice discussions, have one as primary source discussion
      3. Instruction Team: include in programming ideas
