Well I have been asked what is entailed for all positions so here it goes.
What we really need is a diverse group of people from throughout the chapter. Having all the BOD members from only one area really limits the amount of benefits to the other areas. The NAC is a huge Chapter geographically. Having BOD members from the PA area, NY area, and MA or further North only benefits everyone.
All BOD members should be expected to help in planning Chapter activities. While NACFest may be our "official" event each year. Informal wheeling events and meet and greets should be put together throughout the year all over the Chapter. Having a spread out BOD helps to accomplish this. Also, all BOD members should be involved in helping to plan NACFest, since this is our largest event each year.
The President and VP should help to coordinate these informal events as well give direction to the members planning them. They are also responsible for moderating the NAC forum.
In addition, the President is the voice of the NAC to the National BOD. They have access to the National BOD forum and should represent the chapter in the discussion of all National issues. While they do not get a vote on any National Motions, they can be involved in the monthly meetings and discussion of all motions under consideration. They play a very important role in our club.
The VP has no other responsibilities than the ones presented above. I would like to see them undertake some land-use fund-raising with the help of the Director-at-large so that causes in the NAC can benefit from the new matching funds program from National.
The Treasurer is responsible for paying any bills that arise, such as the costs of our events, from our treasury. They should manage our finances conservatively. They are also responsible for any sales of NAC swag.
The recorder currently does not really have any responsibilities. However, I would like to see the incoming NAC recorder be responsible for updating the NAC website and keeping it up to date in the future.
The NAC Director-at-large also currently does not have any official responsibilities. I would like to see them undertake some land-use fund-raising with the help of the VP so that causes in the NAC can benefit from the new matching funds program from National.
Hope this helps for anyone interested in running. Please let me know if you have any questions.
