Making this a "contracting" discussion opens up the possibility of commitments the leader and committee participants can make to one other. For example, the leader might offer staff assistance or payment of expenses incurred in exchange for members' work on the committee. An even more significant "value exchange" might be that in exchange for their work on the committee, they can shape the organization's future operations or service offerings, providing increased opportunity for committee members and other constituents.

Attendees perform better when they know the expectations for their involvement. I can see this being an explicit discussion at the front of the meeting so everyone is clear about expectations.
