We are overdue for elections and the Board is looking to recruit some new faces and blood! Our bylaws require elections every two years (typically the first meeting of the year.) We are off cycle due to COVID but would like to get on track; the goal is to hold elections in September.
Each position (President, VP, treasure and secretary) are term limited to two terms, unless there are no other candidates- our President, VP and Treasurer have all finished both two year terms and should have new candidates.
- President: The President of the Association shall preside at all membership and Executive Committee meetings. He/she shall resolve all points of order and questions of procedure using Robert’s Rules of Order whenever practicable and may appoint a Parliamentarian to assist in their application. The President shall serve as spokesperson of the Association in any matters in which the Association wishes to announce a public position, or at any function at which the Association is to be represented by a spokesperson or delegate. The President may assign or delegate this responsibility, in his/her discretion, to any member of the Association. The President shall appoint Chairpersons of all standing Committees mentioned in Article VI of these By-laws and may establish special committees and appoint the Chairperson and members thereof. The President shall be ex-officio a member of all committees.
- Vice President: The Vice President shall exercise in the absence of the President all of the duties and powers of the President. In the event of the resignation, death or disqualification of the President, the Vice President shall serve as President of the Association for the unexpired term.
- Secretary: The Secretary shall keep the minutes of all meetings of the Association and of the Executive Committee and shall keep all necessary records of the Association. He /she is responsible for giving notice of membership meetings, minutes of meetings, and financial reports by posting on the official media.
- Treasurer: The Treasurer shall keep the financial records of the Association in accordance with state and federal requirements. He/she shall sign all checks, purchase orders, and the like, for expenses approved by the Executive Committee. If dues are charged, he/she shall collect and record the payments. He/she shall give a written report on the financial condition of the Association at each regular membership meeting, and at all Executive Committee meetings.
We would love to see some new faces get involved! Another way to get involved is to consider joining, starting, or chairing a committee (ie: gardening/landscaping, social, etc... whatever is interesting to you!) The only current active committee is the social committee chaired by Patti, but the more the better!
Most of the officers will be at the National Night Out if you would like to chat in person about what is involved. Email me if you are interested in running and for which position or any other questions.
