Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your question--we really appreciate your use of the Community Toolbox!
We aren't sure of your role with respect to this task force, but here are a few suggestions:
One thing that may help is bringing together the members of the task force to create a timeline outlining the history of the organization, its present status, and its future aims. An open group discussion about what goals/objectives the task force would like to pursue could be quite helpful. The group could then come to a consensus about whether or not a need for the task force remains, clarify its activities, and redefine participant roles. To increase the objectivity of the decision-making process, you may want to involve a third-party facilitator or at the very least take a look at Chapter 16 ("Group Facilitation and Problem-Solving") within the Toolkit .
If the task force decides to continue its work, Chapter 8 of the Community Toolbox ("Developing a Strategic Plan") may be helpful in the planning and coordinating of its activities.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional thoughts or questions.
Thanks again!
