The overall goal of the Task Master is to give structure to and facilitate the organization of all of the activities conducted by the South Jersey Men's Club. It is a great recruiting tool to attract prospective members since it details all of the activities conducted by the club. Finally it is an excellent way to develop leadership skills and to identify future Board members.
While I served as the president of the the South Jersey Men's Club 2014-2016 it became evident to me that there was no single source that specified the many activities conducted by the club and which officer and/or club member was responsible to complete a given task. This lead me to create the Task Master which identifies the duties of each officer the tasks associated with that office and which club member has been delegated the responsibility to facilitate the successful completion of a given task. The Task Master is considered a living document and is updated on a monthly basis. Updates are provided to the SJMC Board of Directors and are dated to identify the most recent version.

The Task Master can be replicated by any club using any word processing software. The version submitted with this application was created using Apple's Pages program. The organizational chart was created using Org Chart Maker an App that can be purchased from the Apple Store for $9.99. The only other nominal cost would be the printing of hard copies as needed to communicate the Task Master to the SJMC Board and the membership. In addition the Task Master is emailed to the Board on a monthly basis and is posted on our clubs website to encourage other members to get involved.

Self Assessment
The use of the Task Master greatly enhanced the ability of the the respective officers to carry out their responsibilities. Further it assures that when a club member volunteers to serve on a committee or to conduct a project their involvement is documented. This is particularly important to assure that new members are not overlooked and that when they get involved the appropriate level of support is provided by the club officers.
The Task Master is intended to help new officers and new members to acclimate into leadership roles. It provides the support network needed for them to experience success in achieving lower level responsibilities and gives them the confidence to seek additional responsibilities in the South Jersey Men's Club and Federation activities.
