Somerset Captains Delegations
The minutes of the 02/12/19 committee require a report on potential delegations to the approved structure. Presented as a basis for discussion.
This document should be read in conjunction with the revised structure and committee responsibilities which was approved by the Committee 2/12/2019 (Click here to see notes of that meeting). The assumption is that whilst responsibility lies with the Executive for all operational issues, many of the actions that enable it to happen are delegated to the operational subgroups. The Executive cannot delegate upwards. It’s important therefore to establish what functions and responsibilities are outside the operational remit and reserved to the President’s committee
