Club committees are vital in effectively carrying out the activities of the Interact club. The club president appoints four standing committees, with the approval of the board of directors, as prescribed by the Standard Interact Club Constitution: club committee, finance committee, service committee, and international understanding committee. Additional committees may be appointed as needed. Committees should meet at least once a month to discuss plans and activities and share them with the president. All committee activities and expenses are subject to board approval.

Club Committee

The club committee is responsible for attendance, membership, meeting agendas, fellowship, and public relations. It develops ideas for the presentations at club meetings, ways to recruit new members and keep current members, and methods for publicizing the club’s activities. The committee should maintain a historical record of the club, such as a scrapbook, that includes pictures and descriptions of the club’s activities.

Finance Committee

The finance committee decides how the club will fund its activities, always with an eye toward keeping dues low and ensuring that the club remains self-supporting. The committee finds ways to solicit funds from businesses and organizations by offering something of value — perhaps services or recognition — in return.

Service Committee

The service committee initiates one project each year that benefits either the school or the community.

International Understanding Committee

The international understanding committee undertakes one project each year that promotes international goodwill.

Interact committee chairs have the following responsibilities:

• Give everyone a job to do and keep track of assignments.
• Establish a set schedule of committee meetings for the year.
• Make sure all committee members are familiar with the club’s constitutional documents and the club’s organization and goals.
• Notify committee members in writing of a meeting, giving the date, time, place, and subject of the meeting. E-mail and instant messaging are convenient ways for Interact committee members to communicate.
• Prepare an agenda for the meeting and make sure it is followed during the meeting.
• Contact members scheduled to make reports at the meeting and ask if they need any help preparing their reports.
• Ask members for their opinions.
• Keep meetings short and to the point.
• Keep accurate records but avoid unnecessary paperwork.
