Structure of Global Goddess

From The Ground Up....

Global Goddess is organized from the bottom level beginning with individual members who form into local groups.

• All members and groups are autonomous except in matters that would affect other groups or Global Goddess as an organization. Groups determine when, where, and how often they wish to meet and determine at the local level the activities they wish to participate in. Any two people may come together as a group for purposes they create. A group follows Global Goddess guidelines if working to represent the organization. However, such guidelines will be minimal, serving to protect the organization only.
• For the purpose of doing the business of the organization, for fund raising, and for community support, committees are formed by members. Each committee has an elected representative that works with the Core, and serves as the “hub” for her committee and the general membership
• Each Global Goddess group is to be fully self-supporting. Funds should come from donations and fund raisers. They should always make available a donation "pot" at any meeting. These donations should always be voluntary and no record kept of who gives what - only the total collected.
• Groups elect local officers including someone to serve as a treasurer. The Treasurer reports to the group monthly showing income, and portions sent to the region and to the Core level each month. The group should always keep what is needed at the local level and then share with the region and national levels as they can.
• When a group has an event, said event should be organized so that costs cover expenses only. Sponsors may add 20% to projected costs and that amount should be distributed one-half to local funds and one-half to the national fund after all expenses for the event are paid. No member may personally profit by holding an event for Global Goddess.
