This is intended as a guide for NoVES committees, teams, and task forces. In most cases it refers to skills and responsibilities of the committee as a whole, not of individuals.
| Skills needed: | Is interested in social service and advocacy issues. Has good communication skills. Is able to share enthusiastically Ethical Action projects and information with NoVES community. |
| Responsibilities: | Facilitates NoVES member involvement in social service and advocacy projects that are consistent with Ethical Culture values by promoting opportunities. Educates the NoVES community about social service and advocacy needs in our community, state, and the world. Selects appropriate, preferably but not necessarily, local social service programs, often suggested by NoVES members, to support through weekly "share the collection" at Sunday platforms. Collects thank you notes and letters from organizations that receive support from NoVES, stores them in a notebook, makes them available to NoVES members, and publicizes them in other ways. Maintains contact with the AEU to receive information about Ethical Action issues in the Ethical Culture community. Coordinates with Sunday School on Ethical Action programs suitable for families. |
| Member Term: | No term limits. |
| Measurement of Success: | Anecdotal positive responses from NoVES members. Increase in number of NoVES members involved in social service and advocacy events. Growing collection of thank you notes or letters from social service organizations that receive NoVES support. |
| APPENDIX: | There are a number of Ethical Action traditions that the Committee oversees, most connected to the NoVES calendar, such as collecting food around Stone Salad Sunday, or distributing and collecting UNICEF boxes for Halloween. The committee regards these as an important part of committee work, but the specific projects can vary. Sometimes particular projects should be allowed to end when the energy for them drops, and new projects should be considered when they are of particular interest to NoVES members. |
