4.   Committee Position is used to define the position within the committee.  For example, Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Member to name a few.

Note:  A parish/diocese can setup a Committee Attribute type Position.  If these positions are added as an attribute then when you add a member to a committee this list of positions will show in the drop-down menu as shown in the screenshot below.  This will allow for consistent entries of positions across all committees.  For example, Vice President can be added as VP or V-President or Vice President.  To prevent multiple position names from occurring we suggest you add your positions by selecting Add Position under the Attributes Tab.  For additional information on adding Committee Attributes please click on this link Committee Maintenance Attributes
