Hi everyone, SLUG's March monthly meeting (28th March) is also our Annual General Meeting.
At the Annual General Meeting, the President and Treasurer will present
their reports for 2002, and the 2003 SLUG Committee will be elected.
Summary: nominations for SLUG committee 2003 are now open and should be
sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone standing for election or wanting to
vote must pay membership fees for 2003 before or at the March meeting.
SLUG membership:
People wanting to vote in the elections, and people standing for a
committee position, *must* become financial members of SLUG for the
coming year.
All existing SLUG memberships expire before the AGM.
A full year of SLUG membership costs $25. This can be paid at any
time from now until the AGM to the SLUG Treasurer, Jamie Wilkinson.
(You can pay after the AGM too, for that matter, to the new
treasurer, but you obviously will have missed voting.)
Elections:
All SLUG committee positions will become vacant before the AGM and a
new committee will be elected.
Positions:
- President: responsible for chairing committee meetings. Informal
responsibilities include steering SLUG, and representing SLUG to
the public and media.
- Vice-president: The president's right-hand, left-hand, and other
limbs as appropriate.
- Secretary: Takes minutes at committee meetings, handles
correspondence.
- Treasurer: handles SLUG finances. The SLUG treasurer will need to
be organised and capable of keeping correct records of income and
expenditure.
- Ordinary committee members: There are three ordinary committee
members.
Nominations are now open and will close just before the election
itself. Nominations should be sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
Nominations need to be seconded, which should also happen on
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You should check with the nominee first to make sure they actually
want to stand for election.
2002 committee:
The 2002 committee, whose glorious reign ends at the AGM, is:
- President: Jeff Waugh
- Vice president: Craige McWhirter
- Secretary: Peter Hardy
- Treasurer: Jamie Wilkinson
- Ordinary members: Tony Green, Jan Schmidt, Mary Gardiner
Proxies:
If you cannot attend the March meeting, you can appoint a proxy to
vote on your behalf (the proxy can also vote on their own behalf).
Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell them the name of the person who
holds your proxy vote. Make sure you've paid for your 2003 membership
if you do this!
If you don't know anyone who can proxy for you, email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the names of the nominees you wish to vote
for, and a 2002 committee member will be your proxy.
-Mary
