4.1.4 Putting It Together

At your first organizational meeting, a steering committee should be
established. The steering committee is a temporary group that will be
responsible for the initial development of the club with regard to:

Finding a place to play
Finding equipment (i.e., tables and nets)
Establishing meeting dates and times
Trying to find a sponsor

When the steering committee has accomplished its tasks, a meeting should be
announced to those who have shown an interest and to the general public.
At this meeting, a club name should be decided on (usually reflecting the
locality or sponsorship) and officers elected.

The club will need a president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer.
Each officer has a defined role in the club.
