Adding a New Committee Member

There is no limit on the number of members that can added to a committee, unless a committee structure is defined to enforce a limit. For more information, please see Defining the Committee Structure.

 

When adding a constituent as a member of a committee, the Begin Date selected determines in which section the committee position will display on the Committees control on your e-Business website, as shown below. See Working with Committees on the Web for more information.

To add a new committee member:

1.    From the Personify360 main toolbar, select Customers and Committees > Committee Central.
The Committee Central search screen displays.

2.    Create a new committee or search for and select an existing committee.

3.    From the Committee Members tab, click Add New Member.
The Customer Chooser displays.

The Customer Chooser search results will only return active customers.

4.    Search for and select the appropriate customer.
The Committee Member Details screen displays, as shown below.

5.    By default, the Begin Date is set to today. If necessary, select a different date.

6.    Select the committee Position from the drop-down.
Values in the drop-down are populated based on the codes defined for the non-fixed COM "POSITION" system type.

7.    If necessary, select the Sub-Position from the drop-down.
Values in the drop-down are populated based on the subcodes defined for the non-fixed COM "POSITION" system type and codes.

This status is not tied to the Begin and End Dates. If the End Date is less than or equal to today, you must manually change the Participation Status to Inactive.

If the COM_MBR_REPS_EMPLOYER_FLAG application parameter is set to "Y", when an individual is added to a committee as a committee member, if that individual has a current primary employer, the primary employer customer ID will be automatically added to the "Represents" field in the committee membership record.
