There are some items which are incorporated into the organization that I feel will avoid the pitfalls that might have been experienced by the last robot club here in Pittsburgh. The lack of organization makes even the biggest company collapse. I like to promote a proactive organization where I can find people who can volunteer and take on a responsibility for various tasks. Having worked in R&D before, I think it's important to have members with enough dedication assigned to specific roles to delegate tasks needed to be accomplished. Like with any large organization, there will a variety of opinions and ideas which people like to offer. There is little of the traditional committee rule as typically found in clubs, as this is more fashioned around a business organization, albeit, a non-profit volunteer organization. The important issue is to have the proper leadership within the organization to promote the ideas for the benefit of the group. 
	There would be some Project Leaders which will have responsibility to accomplish the tasks which have been planned beforehand. I will be looking for people who seriously want to take on this assignment. These Projects Leaders will help promote the activities for robot club and use feedback from the members to make their decisions. There will also be small teams of members to assist them in completing the tasks for specific activities which will be planned in the future. Such activities which would need posts filled range from meetings, workshops, guest appearances, competitions, website, etc. 
	Competitions would be a fairly large task where several project leaders would be needed for each contest within the competition. I wouldn't expect one person to handle the organization of the entire competition. In the beginning, the competitions will be small - perhaps only one contest. But as we grow I like to find more people willing to take on the responsibility as Project leader to organize the necessary details for additional contests. This way, there will be enough incentive for people which have to travel a long distance to attend and also even compete. 
	Members can always take the challenge of becoming a Project Leader to offer their skill and expertise to the organization. As the organization grows, the members can volunteer for new tasks as they emerge. I hope by organizing it this way it should let us make smart and quick decisions and keep them clear and concise (hopefully not laborious or monotonous) for the organization.
