Seeking Exco’s Support

11 July 2023 by

Exco needs volunteers to help out with organising events. Volunteers also needs Exco’s support for their ideas.

Online and at in-person, volunteers may approach an Exco individual to bounce ideas. The Exco individual may choose to provide advice and a brief initial assessment.

After the Exco individual’s initial assessment finds the idea sound, volunteers should translate ideas into actionable items.

The more actionable it is, the more easily Exco can support you.

(Note: If volunteers are confident, you can also write to Exco directly without getting an initial assessment. We will review all ideas fairly.)

To propose actionable items, write into Exco [at] humanist.org.sg in the following format. If there’s an Exco giving the initial assessment, you may also cite the Exco’s name.
