About USA Club Rugby
USA Rugby Senior Club Council Committees are critical to the delivery of member benefits for a number of reasons:
They allow for a wider range of expertise and perspectives to be brought to bear on the problem. A well-functioning committee will have members with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and experiences. This allows the committee to consider a wider range of options and solutions to the problems it is addressing.
They allow for more thoughtful and deliberate decision-making. Committees typically have more time to discuss issues and consider different options than individual members would on their own. This can lead to better decisions that are more likely to meet the needs of the membership.
They allow for more effective implementation of decisions. Committees can develop and implement plans to act on the decisions they make. This can help to ensure that the benefits are delivered to members in a timely and efficient manner.

- Increase member engagement and participation. When members are involved in committees, they are more likely to be engaged in the organization as a whole. This can lead to increased participation in other activities and events.
- Develop future leaders. Committees are a great way for members to develop their leadership skills and knowledge. This can help to prepare them for future leadership roles within the organization.
- Build community and camaraderie. Committees can provide a forum for members to connect with each other and to build relationships. This can help to create a sense of community and belonging within the organization.
