An Executive role in a school departmental or faculty association is not the easiest of roles. You have hundreds of desperate students breathing down your neck with only a limited time to make an impact. Once EXCOS are elected, they already have a clear picture of what they want to accomplish, but executing these projects though might sometimes be a challenge.

 If you find yourselves in this seemingly impossible situation, taking them all by yourself can be damaging. There is an easy way to ease the pressure while still making sure all proposed projects are executed. This is in the setting up of committees.

Among the students, there are definitely people who have leadership traits but are not necessarily a part of the Executives. These ones can be placed in charge of different committees set up to oversee different projects. Others who are willing to serve and capable are also added as committee members. These committees take care of all the important details in their assigned areas and bring due feedbacks to the Executives.

In order to ensure though that the committees are up to the task, the Executives must follow up on them. An effective communication tool that can be used for such is bulk SMS. With bulk SMS, the EXCOS can easily communicate with the Committees and also get their feedback on how well their assigned task is going. Setting up committees help ensure all projects are carried out with little stress on the EXCOS.
