Hey Shawn and group The main reason for only the core positions to be elected is that the Societies Act only indicates 4 Executive/Director positions.
The secondary reason for this is it is really hard enough to get 4 core position filled for a year. The third reason is that appointed positions can be added, removed or replaced as the elected board sees fit considering the situation. So that if you lose an appointed Exec member they can be replaced by the remaining Executive - which is unlike an elected position where there would have to be a Special General meeting called (as we did for Marcel) or the position would remain vacant until the next AGM. My recommendation would be have names to put forward at the AGM so that the Executive can vote on that person(s) at their first quarterly Executive meeting. I hope that answers your questions... The Communications Coordinator did not have a job description written up for it but that position has been responsible for the website (including updates) the mailing list and any advertising CLUG may do for events, meetings, etc. As I know that there are many people within our group that have the skills to do this job - I would encourage you all to think about whether you would like to put your name forward as an interested person for this position. Now I will be honest... I cornered Jason at one of the after-meeting-meetings... and after come cajoling (and wings) he agreed to be appointed as the Communications Coordinator. He did a great job and put a lot of enthusiasm and ideas forward. I truly enjoyed working with you Jason and fully understand that sometimes life gets in the way :-) Sincerely Kari > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Shawn > Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 11:45 PM > To: CLUG General > Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Communications Coordinator > > > Thanks for your efforts Jason.
