Recently, Arizona Masters changed the committee structure for our
organization. This may not sound like a worthy news item but it is
important to how our LMSC functions. After all, for the 900 or so
members of Arizona Masters, this will have a positive impact that will
touch all of us.

The Committee on Committees (yes, we had a group by that name) decided
to consolidate various functions into four groups. The goal is to
have committee members work together and share the workload related to
a particular area. Each committee would have a chairman who would
provide the guidance to the other members of the group. The Board of
Directors would in turn provide guidance and assistance to the committees.

So why does this matter? Working together is better than working
alone, especially when there are a lot of tasks to complete. Members
can share their ideas, talent, and experience in a setting where they
can all contribute to the success of the committee. While swimming is
an individual sport, for organizations like ours success is a team effort.
