Due to the relative newness of our association, how we accomplish our goals is constantly evolving. Nevertheless, we’ve discovered that some things work better than others. For example, we’ve found that what doesn’t work is for group leadership to take on all the issues and projects to try and accomplish everything. This severely limits our possibilities and doesn’t acknowledge Sayulita volunteers who have a multitude of talents and interests. We found that the way to get a number of important projects accomplished simultaneously is for individuals, who have special interests or skills, to volunteer as project leaders or team members.
When a problem is identified or a good idea for a project is brought up at one of our weekly meetings, we ask for volunteers to serve on a committee to explore ways to solve the problem or advance the project. The individual committee selects a committee leader who reports back to GPS at our weekly meetings. At the weekly meetings we find creative ways to support the committees. Support could be in the form of direct funding, help in presenting proposals to appropriate authorities or just help in clarifying the issue.
Through our successes we now have reputation for keeping our commitments to the community and our partners in government. Grupo Pro Sayulita’s assistance can be a great help in completing a successful project! |
