Task Force Guidelines

The Campus FM Technologies Association (CFTA) is an organization that provides leadership opportunities to evoke change from and within the organization.  One such way is by serving on a task force.  This document serves to provide guidelines and information on how to establish a CFTA task force.

A CFTA task force serves to examine, assess, and develop recommendations for improving CFTA as an organization.  The task force members should meet to define its goals and then submit items for approval by the CFTA Board of Directors. A new task force should begin by addressing the following questions:

  • What is the role of the task force? (e.g. the problem you’re hoping to solve)

  • What are the specific tasks it hopes to address?

  • What CFTA information does the task force need, if any, to begin working towards its goals?

  • How often will the task force meetings occur? (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, etc.)

  • Who will serve as chair? - Chair is appointed by CFTA President, recommendations encouraged.
