So elections are getting close. As most of you know that means it's annual meeting time and time for a new change of officers. So what does this all mean? Means I need you to start thinking about stepping up and helping run UC. I think David and I will both agree it's time to pass the torch on.
Up for elections.
President: Basically run the show. Working with all other officers making sure that all the bases are covered. A good president should be willing to listen to it's members needs.
Vice President: Assist the President in doing all the above. Fill in when the President is not available and to make club decisions pending approval from the president.
Secretary: Will be responsible for making sure the President and Vice President have not forgotten anything , sending out new member packets, tracking member dues dates, selling and maintaining merchandise.
Treasurer: As most of you know this is the money person. Mary Hardin has done a great job of keeping us in line and the money flowing. I'm pretty sure most of us will agree that this position is a given.
Land Management Officer: This person will work with state and local officials as well as other local clubs to help keep our trails open and preserved. This person will also work with the Events Officer to make sure we are where we should be and legally on the right trail.
Safety Officer: Someone who is willing to help make sure we stay safe while going on rides and has a good understanding of recovery.
Events Officer: Responsible for scheduling our events and making sure everyone is informed and included. This is not a position to be taken lightly. To me this person plays the most important role in our club. But done right it can be a very rewarding position.
BOD Delegate for TLCA: Willing to sit in on monthly conferences with all TLCA chapters and officers. Work with the TLCA to help promote our club as well as provide a vital link between UC members and TLCA. Help promote the benefits of being a TLCA member. Give UC feedback to issues going on within TLCA.
We are also adding two officers this year. Considering we have a new sub chapter LowCountry Cruisers.
These will be:
LowCountry President: Runs the LC show. Schedules the events and works with UC to help promote the club.
LowCountry Vice President: Backs up the Pres with all duties.
Confusing? Yes but I think this group has done a great job in getting another chapter together and deserve to have a title that fits the bill. LC officers will have the same power as any other officer except that they can be overridden by the Pres and VP. Also in the event that the LC Pres and the VP Pres don't agree the UC Pres will have the vote to break the tie.
David H and David D we are gonna need to make some changes to our by-laws by the Annual. Could you help?
All of these positions are very important and help make UC what it is today. We have some very hard working officers who currently done a great job in running the show. Now it's your turn to help.
Date is still up in the air. Clemson plays every weekend in Sept. I'm leaning more to wards Sept 20th since they are playing a crappy team. So if anyone has any issues with that date please chime in.
Location is a given. David H can you check with Aunt Sues and make sure Sept 20th is okay with them.
Also we might do a run up to our new honey hole and camp Sat night.
Life as I know it will end during the annual and I will be passing the torch on to someone else to run the ship. When I joined this club 4 years ago I would have never thought I would be in the roles that I have been these past two years. These roles have taught me a lot of things that will be useful in other roles of my life especially my job. I never considered myself a leader. I used to have issues speaking in public. All those things have gone away. I have learned patience and how to better interact with other people. I have learned what is important and what is not. I have learned so many things while being an officer in UC. All of which will help me later on in life. So in that I ask for you to think about if you want to be a leader and learn and grow to better yourself in life or be a follower.
All nominations need to be e-mailed to me marshall@828rugs.com
You can nominate yourself or anyone you think you would like to see take a position. After OMT I will get with all the nominees and ask if they would like to run. Then elections will be held starting the 1st of Sept.
