Vice Chairmen are the first step to continuity for a committee. They are a backup for the Chairman and provide support for the Secretary. You will work with your Chairman to support your local volunteer team, encouraging other volunteers to attend meetings and take part, or inspiring growth and development in younger or newer volunteers to ensure a succession plan for the committee.  The Chairman may delegate tasks to you, this will help them support the committee and help you develop your own people skills. This might include chairing meetings and attending Regional or National Committee meetings. Many of our Vice Chairmen go on to become Chairmen in the future.

Our Vice Chairmen can be elected for up to two terms of three years.
