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.
