Committee List

Managing Event Committees

Committees help you organize your event team by function—catering, logistics, decor, entertainment—so everyone knows their role. Whether you’re planning a 500-person wedding, a Diwali corporate bash, or a college fest, committees keep your crew aligned and accountable.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you’ll need an event.

View Your Committees

How to get there: Dashboard > Select your event > Committees

1. Open your event from the dashboard.
2. Tap the Committees tab or card.
3. You’ll see all committees for this event listed with member counts and status.

Each committee card shows:

• Committee name and avatar with initials
• Number of members assigned
• Status (Active or Inactive)
• A chevron icon to view full details

Scroll down to see all committees. Pull down to refresh the list if you’ve made changes elsewhere.

Tip

Committees are event-specific—each event has its own committee structure. You can’t reuse committees across events.

Create a New Committee

How to get there: Dashboard > Select your event > Committees > Tap + button

1. Tap the floating + button at the bottom-right.
2. Enter the Committee Name (e.g., “Catering Team”, “Decor Crew”).
3. Choose the Visibility: Private (only leaders see), Public (all event members see), or Restricted (specific people only).
4. Select a Category if applicable (e.g., Catering, Logistics, Entertainment).
5. Add an optional Description to explain the committee’s role.
6. Assign a Leader—the person responsible for this committee.
7. Tap Create Committee.

Next Best Action

After creating your first committee, most organizers:

• For weddings: Add committee members from vendors and family leads
• For corporate events: Assign department heads as leaders
• For college fests: Add student coordinators and faculty advisors

Event Cancelled?

If your event is cancelled, you can’t create new committees. You can still view and delete existing ones.

View Committee Details

How to get there: Dashboard > Select your event > Committees > Tap a committee card

1. Tap any committee card to open the detail panel.

2. You’ll see:

   • Committee name, description, and visibility level
   • Status badge (Active/Inactive) and category tags
   • List of all assigned members with their roles and profile pictures
   • Leader badge on the member designated as leader

3. Tap Show all members if the list is long.

4. Tap Close to dismiss, or Edit Committee to make changes.

Tip

Use the description field to document the committee’s goals—e.g., “Handle all food logistics, coordinate with caterers, manage dietary restrictions.”

Edit a Committee

How to get there: Dashboard > Select your event > Committees > Tap a committee > Edit Committee

1. Update the committee Name, Visibility, Category, or Description.
2. Change the Leader if needed.
3. Add or remove members from this committee.
4. Tap Save Changes.

Changes apply immediately to all event members who have access to this committee.

Delete a Committee

How to get there: Dashboard > Select your event > Committees > Swipe left on a committee card or tap Committees > open committee > delete icon

Via Card Swipe

1. Swipe left on a committee card.
2. A delete icon appears on the right.
3. Tap Delete to confirm.

Via Detail Panel

1. Open the committee detail panel.
2. Tap the delete icon (trash can) in the top-right.
3. Confirm the deletion in the popup.

Irreversible Action

Deleting a committee cannot be undone. Members remain in your event but lose access to this committee’s workspace. Back up any notes first.

Common Issues

“Cannot create new committee for cancelled events.” — Your event is marked as cancelled. Restore the event status to create new committees. You can still delete old ones if needed.

“Failed to load committee details” — This happens when the app loses connection to Velora. Check your internet and try again. Tap the Try Again button or refresh the page.

“Committee still shows after I deleted it” — The app may be cached. Pull down to refresh the committee list. If it persists, close and reopen the event.

“Can’t find the member I want to add” — The person must already be invited to your event. Add them to your event first, then assign them to committees.
