As Newcomers, we have the opportunity each year to nominate, elect and, in some cases, serve as a member of the governing body of our organization. The Elected Officers of the Club are as follow:
- President
- Vice-President - Membership,
- Vice-President - Activities
- Vice-President - Events
- Vice-President - Communications,
- Vice-President – Technology
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Assistant Treasurer
A description of each position detailing individual responsibilities can be found in section 6 of the bylaws.
Also, included in the bylaws is the process for nominating and voting on next year’s Officers. The Nominating Committee is comprised of two board members and three Newcomers who do not hold a board seat. This year’s committee members include: Drew Webb, Jeff Lindberg, Caity Leeds, Jennifer Comstock and Sherry Unruh.
Currently, the Nominating Committee is in the process of identifying members for each of the elected positions. In March, the Nominating Committee will present their slate of candidates to the President at the March General Meeting. At April’s General Meeting, members will vote to accept the next year’s leadership (section 9 of bylaws).
If you would like to include your name for consideration or if you know of another member who would enjoy the opportunity to contribute their skills as an elected officer, please contact the Nominating Committee members. Names for consideration need to be forwarded to the Nominating Committee by Feb. 29th.
We truly have a unique group with Newcomers and serving on the Board for the benefit of our members is fun and rewarding. We hope you will consider submitting your name or the name of a fellow member for next year’s Board.
