It's what separates us from the teenagers. It's the way things work. If it's bigger, then make the committee bigger. The committee should create a planning binder with lists of subcommittees, guests, assignments, resources, financial status, and anything else that seems important at the time. Here is a family reunion checklist to help get you started.
Every organization has to have a leader, and the family reunion committee is no exception.
It is good if the committee chairperson is someone that everyone respects and will listen to. Subcommittees can be a single person as well, for small reunions, but if not, each should have a chairperson of its own to report back. You know, just in case they're slacking off and not getting the job done, the chairperson overall can crack down on them. That's Mister Spiffy's favorite part of being overall chairperson of any reunion. When you're getting organized, don't expect that you can do everything.
