Seven people trying to run every aspect of their organisation by themselves. Three-hour meetings. The same three people doing all the actual work. Burnout setting in. And meanwhile a significant chunk of the membership — talented, interested, willing to contribute — has never once been asked.

In this episode Kate H and Kate M introduce three structures that fix this: portfolios, subcommittees and working groups. They cover how each one works, how to set them up properly, why delegation is not the same as abdication, how terms of reference protect everyone involved, and how to find the hidden gems in your membership who've been waiting to be asked.
