The committee handover pack

What the next president, secretary or treasurer needs on day one. Fill it in once and update it at each annual meeting.

How to use it

Print these pages or copy them into a document the committee shares. The person leaving a role fills them in before the annual meeting. Never write passwords on it: record where each one is kept and who can reset it.
