2021 Executive Positions

[Cagare]

As per SASC bylaws, the SASC Executive is elected for a term of 1 year, with elections held annually, as such:

All current SASC Executives (President, Director, Secretary & Treasurer) will resign their current positions effective December 31st, 2020. We ask for nominations for the new candidates on our forum (self-nominations or nominations of others). Should more than one person be interested in a particular executive position an online vote will be held in November, prior to the AGM.

Executive nomination requirements
- Nominees must be a full member in good standing for a minimum of 12 months
- Self nomination will be allowed
- People may only be nominated (self-nomination or nominations by others) for one executive position
- Nominations close 21 days prior to the AGM (November 1, 2020)
- Nominees must post on 'Members Only' forum section their experience / qualifications, along with their enthusiasm for betterment of the club, in conjunction with their nomination. No qualifying post, the nomination is void. Allows for other members to consider their votes for their preferred nominee prior to AGM.
- Current executives are also able to be nominated and re-elected for 2021
 
Membership voting
- Full member in good standing for a minimum of 6 months prior to AGM (as per bylaws).

I know that the majority of the current executive, including myself, do no intend to nominate again for our current positions. While we all will stay involved in the club and help where we can.

We have recently started to host our meetings virtually, which can continue to happen if the 2021 executive prefers it this way. I understand attending an on-site meeting on a monthly basis was a barrier to some people that may have wanted to volunteer in the past.

Also, we have started to build up a larger degree of institutional knowledge, both with past and current executive, as well as our existing membership. This should allow for the load to be spread across a few members to help with the running of events. We also have a process manual that covers most of event and club operations, which is added to regularly to make both this transition and future transitions smoother, as well as helping to continue to build this knowledge in our club.

From my perspective, I still plan on attending most meetings, and taking on a steward role for next year, while also acting as event steward for a few events as well.

This is a volunteer run club. We need to continue to have people to act as regular volunteers to keep things running. The executive is particularly important in maintain directors for our not-for-profit society status with the province so we can continue to file financial records with them annually. While that's a basic requirement of the operation of this club we also need our executive to continue looking into the future to determine how we can continue to operate well into the future, and potentially improve, or grow for that matter.
