Role of a Group Convenor

Group convenors are individuals or several individual members of a group who take on responsibility for its operation. Sometimes there may be one Group Convenor, though experience suggests that at least two such persons work more efficiently; sometimes the leadership may vary, pass from one member to another or be shared among a number of members.

The Group Convenor role includes:

  • Acting as a contact point for the group, both for the existing members and prospective new members
  • Attending Convenor meetings and occasional social events
  • Deciding (with the group members) the nature and scope of the group and its programme of activities
  • Holding regular planning meetings of the group to review how the group is going and to decide future activities
  • Liaison with the Groups Coordinator to discuss any issues with the group
  • Providing updates on the group’s activity for the newsletter
  • Promoting and publicising the group to attract new members
  • Collecting any fees due for room hire or other expenses and keeping records of all money received / spent
  • Maintaining an up to date list of group members contact details
