Hi all,
We will be holding an EGM on Wednesday 25th November at 7pm (location TBD) to fill the role of Transport Secretary. We would like to encourage all members to come along to have your say in electing the new committee member. All members (excluding external members) are able to run for the role no matter how many hikes or events you have attended - please read the role description below to see if you'd be interested.
Note: This is not a ticketed event, and everyone is encouraged to attend.
What is an EGM?
An EGM is an Extraordinary General Meeting. These meeting happen when someone steps down from their committee role causing a by-election, or there are possible changes to be made to our constitution that cannot wait until the AGM (Annual General Meeting). We need a minimum of 20 members in attendance to vote in new Committee members. It's not all business though as after we elect our new Transport Secretary we will have some fun with a quiz. There may also be some snacks available!
What is the Transport Secretary Role?
The Transport Secretary is responsible for booking coaches and minibuses, finding drivers and sorting out parking when we go on hikes. This can involve getting quotes, sending out forms, speaking to Transport Services and getting to know members who may want to get involved with either driving their car for weekend trips or learning to drive minibuses. As well as this, the Transport Secretary works with the rest of Committee to organise and run our events and be a friendly face to members. It's a great opportunity to get involved with the society, build your communication, team work and organisational skills and it looks great on your CV too!
If this sounds like something you would like to do, please be prepared to do a short presentation at the EGM and answer a couple of questions before the society votes to elect the new Transport Secretary. If you have any questions about the voting process, running or the role itself, please reply to this email or get in touch with Committee.
Good luck to all those who choose to run and we hope to see you all there!
