Good day Whalers!
The 2009-2010 season is nearly over and this past year has seen our
club face challenges related to a considerable decline in membership,
loss of last year’s coaches, and low attendance in the pool. The large
decrease in our membership during the past season raises concern about
the viability of the club heading into next year. We had a challenge
in securing a head coach before the beginning of the season and were
lucky to have Phil Duggan step up to the challenge. Thanks to Phil
for his hard work and efforts this year.
These obstacles did not deter the club and have energized many of us
to ensure that the club continues to grow into the next season and
beyond. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) for our swim club is May 11,
and the call for nominations for a new executive is a critically
important part of the AGM process, as we work to renew our club.
To that end the executive is placing the call to all members for
nominations for the following executive positions to be elected at the
AGM. According to the club’s constitution, any member of the club may
nominate themselves or another member (with that member’s agreement).
Terms are for two years and really only need a few hours of your time
per month. And it’s fun!!!.
Some club members have already offered to serve in positions on the executive. For these members, please confirm your interest and intention to let your name stand.
If you feel you know someone or are the energetic person to fill one
of our club leadership positions please consider letting your name
stand for election: send your intentions to Past President: Bill
Collins, bcollins@collinsmgmt.ca stating your interest. Please have
all nominations submitted on or by May 9th.
The 2008-2010 executive positions available for 2010-2012 are:
Jenn Nearing – President
Steve Hurlbut – Registrar
Tami Mosher – Treasurer
Vacant – Social Coordinator
Blair King – Equipment Manager
Conrad Nadeau – Fund raising/Donations
Blair King – Secretary
Bill Collins – Past President
Christopher Mercer – Webmaster
We really need your support and participation at this time, thank you.
