Goal Setting For EAC Chairpersons

Each EAC must set its own goals and determine how to achieve them. Goals must be specific and worthwhile, but most importantly for volunteer EAC Board members, -- goals must be realistic.

Areas in which to set goals are determining who makes up your membership, income requirements, events, a possible publication, and partnership activities with EDD.

In setting its goals, the Board must decide if goals can be achieved without financial means. If not, revenue-generating ideas must be put into effect. This can be achieved by sponsoring events. Financial requirements will determine the type and number per year. Donations can be obtained from local employers. Membership dues can also be charged. (Value is perceived by some to be something for which they must be willing to pay. It is interesting to note that the success of an EAC may be in direct relationship to the amount of membership dues charged.)

Examples of some goals, which might require funds, are:

  • To hold or support veteran standdowns/veterans’ programs
  • Sponsor job fairs
  • Send board members to EAC or CEAC conferences
  • Pay for speakers at events
  • Sponsor local Youth Employment & Opportunity Programs (YEOP)
  • Give scholarships
  • Support local EDD projects
  • Printing and postage costs

Tools, which can assist in obtaining these goals, are:

  • Bylaws
  • Budget (Goals will drive tools; tools will drive goals)
  • Mission statement ("What do you want to be when you grow up")
  • Meeting tools (Sets the agenda and appoints a facilitator, usually the Chairperson, at meetings to keep on track)
