In order to give your officers a sense of pride and accomplishment, they need to know what they should be trying to achieve. For instance, you would never agree to join a race if you didn’t know where you were running to and why.  \nThe more information you have for your volunteers up front, the better prepared and motivated they will be for the job they agree to take on. Remember to be honest and as accurate as possible when defining the positions. If someone is scared away from the position based on the description, then they weren’t prepared to handle the job anyway – and it is better to find out in advance.  \nWhen writing a job description you should develop a sample format. The person currently holding the position should revise the written description to reflect the duties actually performed for the chapter.  \nHow to Write a Job Description  \nThe following are key points you will want to keep in mind when developing the description.  \nJob Title: Titles offer credibility and a feeling of importance. Make sure the title accurately reflects the position.  \nBrief Job Description: Describe the importance of the job and how it fits into the structure of the board.  \nResponsibilities: As specifically as possible, list each duty and responsibility. For example; chair chapter board meetings, create chapter membership plan, telephone prospective volunteers monthly, keep current with all new RIMS information and policies, attend all board/chapter meetings.  \nQualifications: Should include the desirable and essential skills needed to perform the job well. For example; pleasant phone personality to call volunteers, ability to communicate effectively, ability to delegate, knowledge and interest in the chapter and RIMS, previous position held on the board, etc.  \nTime Commitment: Ask the current job holder to estimate the amount of time they spend on fulfilling the position. Include meeting attendance, conference calls, work that needs to be done, etc. You can list the time either by hours weekly or monthly.  \nMeasure of Success: Review the responsibilities and decide how to evaluate and measure the successful completion of those duties. For example, Chapter increased revenue by 10%, meetings were scheduled 6 months in advance, \\#\\# new members were recruited and \\#\\# members retained, etc.  \nBenefits: What will the volunteer gain by taking this position? Will they learn new skills, increase their networking, become a leader recognized by their peers?  \nAfter completing each job description ask yourself: Is this job description realistic?  \nIs this job description interesting? If I were volunteering, would I want to do it? Am I being realistic about hoping to find someone todo this job?  \nChapter officer, director and committee chair job descriptions will vary greatly from Chapter to Chapter. The attached descriptions are just samples of what they may look like.  \nSample Chapter Job Descriptions  \nChapter President  \nSample Job Description  \nTitle: Chapter President  \nObjective: The chapter President keeps the chapter focused on setting and maintaining its goals. The President oversees officers and committees and encourages teamwork. The President maintains the operations of the chapters.  \nResponsibilities: Attend all meetings, to preside at all meetings; monitor progress of chapters goals and objectives; enforce bylaws and send updated copy to RIMS General Counsel ([Mark Prysock:](Mark Prysock: mprysock@rims.org)[ mprysock@rims.org](Mark Prysock: mprysock@rims.org)) each year after adopting changes from RIMS model; appoint committees, attend RIMS training sessions, identify and implement services for chapter members, keep current with RIMS services, prepare board meeting","cbCaiaWf6aByoSt4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaWf6aByoSt4","pdf",115469,"English","# Volunteer Job Descriptions\n## The Purpose of Job Descriptions\n## How to Write a Job Description\n## Sample Chapter Job Descriptions\n## Chapter President\n## Chapter Vice-President","[{\"question\":\"Why are volunteer job descriptions important for chapter officers?\",\"answer\":\"Job descriptions provide clear expectations so officers can focus on goals and volunteers can feel prepared.
