NAMI Kokomo Steering Committee Chair

NAMI Indiana is the state organization of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. We are a grassroots public charity helping people living with serious mental illnesses, their families and friends.

The Steering Committee Chair will serve as the liaison between the NAMI Kokomo and NAMI Indiana. The purpose of selecting one contact is to establish a clear line of communication that is consistent, dependable, and productive. The responsibilities of the chair are as follows:

• To ensure that NAMI Indiana always has contact information for the NAMI Kokomo
• To provide, in writing, contact information for a new chair if there is a leadership transition
• To coordinate scheduling and approval processes (see below)
• To participate in affiliate leadership meetings and calls (or the designee) – as set by the State Organization
• To respond promptly to inquiries from NAMI Indiana
• To provide information about Affiliate activities upon request
• To openly voice questions, concerns, successes, etc., with NAMI Indiana representatives

Though NAMI Indiana will primarily communicate with your chair, there will be opportunities for others from your Affiliate to also discuss matters with us. For example, we can arrange a conference call with the full steering committee, attend a meeting, work with program leaders etc. However, this would be coordinated between the steering committee chair and NAMI Indiana.
