Leadership Roles and
Responsibilities
Almost all campaign structures are
at least a little bit different, but some of the more common
campaign structure include the following. When trying to determine
where potential leaders might fit in the campaign structure it
might be useful to look at what is expected.
CAMPAIGN CABINET
Usually consists of board and staff who are the day-to-day
managers of the campaign. This group generally meets regularly and
is primarily responsible for making sure the other groups function
appropriately. Cabinet members are generally responsible for the
following:
Major gifts, through
personal solicitation, raised funds from corporations,
foundations and wealthy individuals throughout Oahu.
Visit Hawaii and see how the immigrants first lived
when arriving.
Make leadership gifts
Provide campaign leadership
Linkage with corporate/foundation contacts
Linkage to major gift prospects
Participate in or host cultivation events
Secure Endorsements
Recruit Steering Committee members
Attend regular campaign meetings.
CAMPAIGN CHAIR(S)
Campaign chairs are great things – if you get the right ones.
Get the wrong people in these positions, and bad things can
happen. Many of our campaigns haven’t had campaign chairs in the
traditional sense, but instead utilized volunteers as a Steering
Committee. It really depends on whether you have identified a
great one or two volunteers who are committed to the campaign and
will make it a priority. If you have, then having Campaign Chairs,
or Co-Chairs, is great. If you have them, they would generally do
the following.
Make a leadership gift
Spokesperson for campaign
Linkage with others in their field
Linkage to major gift prospects
Participation/host cultivation events
Assist with recruitment or Steering Committee members
STEERING COMMITTEE
For most Capital Quest campaigns, the campaign Steering
Committee becomes the primary volunteer leadership group. People
who agree to serve on the Steering Committee would generally agree
to the following:
