Nominations for club officers for 2007 can now be submitted through October. Elections will take place in November.

That's right- the ARC Constitution (http://www.atlantareefclub.org/index.php?page=constitution) limits the terms of all the positions to one year (except the treasurer, who may hold a 2 year position). This is to keep new ideas coming and new people in the driver's seat. If you're really interested in really helping the club by providing its direction, this is the best way to do so. You'll meet tons of people and make a lot of good friends in the process.

The following four positions are open for election (adapted from the By Laws (http://www.atlantareefclub.org/index.php?page=bylaws)):

President
The President shall preside at all meetings, sign all documents, and be a member of all committees.

Vice President
The Vice President shall, in the absence of the President, act as presiding officer. The Vice President shall be a member of all Committees and shall be informed of any business of said Committee so that s/he may present it to the Board in the absence of said Committee Chairperson.

Secretary
It shall be the responsibility of the Secretary to inscribe the proceedings of all meetings and to be prepared to read the specified records when requested. The office requires the maintenance of Club records, except those designated to other officers. When the President and Vice President are absent in any meeting, the Secretary shall preside. The Secretary shall also be responsible for maintaining copies of all correspondence as directed by the Board.

Treasurer
The Treasurer shall keep in order financial records and/or books, tender by check recognized expenses incurred by the Club, and co-sign checks with the President, or one other Board member designated by the Board. The Treasurer is required to present immediately prior to the end of the fiscal year, all financial records to the person specified by the Board of Directors for audit and shall include a written statement of the financial condition of the Club. The Treasurer shall also present a monthly financial report to the Board of Directors and anytime at the request of the President.

And from the constitution (http://www.atlantareefclub.org/index.php?page=constitution):

Who may become an officer
Only members in good standing who have attended at least four (4) meetings in the current calendar year are eligible for office.

Who may vote
Only members in good standing are entitled to vote at the annual elections as stated under the bylaws of this organization. Commercial, Sponsor, Regular, and Charter members will be sent only one ballot regardless of the number of membership cards issued.


Nominations will all need to be submitted by the October meeting, and elections will be held in the November meeting. If you know of someone that is interested and you would like to nominate then for an office, please state so in this thread. You may also nominate yourself.

My first year here !!!!!!

Somehow, I think this could get interesting.

God bless whoever the next group is, some may not realize ALL of what is involved in volunteering.

on a different note - I am sure of course, that this is a bit different than the guys in basic training who vounteer for their first GI party.

Vice Prez- Chris Horne AKA mojo (http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forums/member.php?u=3)

Thanks for the nomination, Gwen, although I haven't decided if I'm willing to do VP yet, both for the club's sake and for my own sanity. Remember, the 1-year rule exists to protect the club from the same people running it the same way year after year!

I will, however, continue to be webmaster either way, as long as I don't get overwhelmed with it.

Current nominations + seconds (there is currently only one person running per position):

President - Tony Sciarini
Vice President - Chris Horne (me, although I haven't decided for sure, and I haven't been seconded)
Treasurer - Sharon Warning
Secretary - Gwen Steburg


Please remember that all nominations must be in by the Oct 10 meeting, and elections will take place at the November meeting.

Also remember that you may nominate yourself, provided you meet the requirements stated at the beginning of this thread. This is your club - if you want to really have a hand in how its run, then being involved as an officer is the best way to do so.

Gwen, you'd be the perfect person to fill my position (IMHO). :)

I also agree - Tony for prez! I hope Chris and Sharon decide to stick around as well...even if the positions change.

Thanks for the kind words Kayla- your shoes would be very hard to fill!!

When/where does the board usually meet and for how long?

I'm just trying to figure out if this is something I want to do. I've already committed time to SWU and I just don't want to take on too much. :)

Speak up if you wanna run for a position.

wait... you mean if Im the ARC President then Im going to have to go to MORE meetings?!?!?

gwen_o_lyn
10-11-2006, 3:55 PM
lol... I figured they prolly meet once a month?? I don't know...

We have regular meetings monthly, SWU meetings monthly, and board meetings monthly ?? way too much!!

If they meet right before the monthly meetings, then that wouldn't be so bad.

I have seen that most BOD meetings are right before or after regular meetings or in conjunction with SWU meetings

Tony, as President, YOU'D get to decide when and how often the BOD meets!!! LOL

However as background, the BOD is supposed to meet at least quarterly and we usually meet for dinner before the ARC Monthly Meeting and somewhere close to the ARC Monthly Meeting so that the BOD meeting is only ~ 1 hour long. This way it also minimizes folks having to be away from family for a 2nd night as well as reduces the amount of driving to meetings.

I nominate Kevin Jessop for Vice President. He'll need to be involved on the Board as well as SWU to make everything happen, so I think it'd be a good match. I've already talked to him about this, and he's comfortable with it.
