2018-19 Club Officers Nominations and Volunteers Needed

12/11/2017

 
Central Maine Striders is the oldest, active running club in the state of Maine. To keep our club thriving we need members, like you, to engage and help lead our club, grow our membership, and increase our offerings.

Joining the Striders Board of Directors as an officer is one way to get involved, especially as we're currently in need of people to fill several positions. Officers serve two-year terms, with the option to be reelected once, for a total of four consecutive years. The board meets monthly, along with any interested members, outside of summer. The next club meeting is Wednesday, December 13, at 6 p.m. at The End Zone (38 College Ave, Waterville).

Nominations are underway for 2018-19 Central Maine Striders club officers. Here is our current slate of 2018-19 officers up for election.

2018-19 Club Officers


President
  • Brendan Gilpatrick (second and final term)
 
Vice President
The vice president position has been vacant for the past year. The VP helps with planning club events (potlucks, the annual meeting and awards, group runs, etc), among other duties. If interested in serving, please send an email to run@centralmainestriders.com.

Secretary
  • Shara Marquis (first term)

Other (Membership)
Other officers, such as a Membership Coordinator, may be elected as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors. If interested in assisting the club in this essential way, or another way, please send an email to: run@centralmainestriders.com.

Final Terms
Please note that Ron Peck (Treasurer) and Alicia MacLeay (Communications) will finish their second and final terms as officers at the end of 2018. Their positions will be vacant as of January 2019.


Get Involved
If you have any interest in getting involved with Striders in 2018 or beyond, please come to a monthly club meeting. The next meeting is Wednesday, December 13, at 6 p.m. at The End Zone in Waterville. Or send an email to run@centralmainestriders.com.

Let us know your individual interests and skills. We're always looking for members to volunteer in the ways most meaningful and appropriate for them and to whatever extent their schedule allows. 

That could mean arranging group runs and potlucks (a top request among members), organizing member benefits to local businesses, coordinating Striders race teams for events, writing race reports for the website, and so on.

The possibilities for Central Maine Striders are up to you, our members!

5.1
The officers of the Corporation shall consist of a President, a Vice President, a Treasurer, a Secretary, a Clerk, and such other officers as may be deemed necessary by the Board of Directors. Any two or more shall be elected by the Members at the Annual Meeting thereof, and shall hold their offices until their successors are chosen and have qualified or until their earlier resignation, death, incapacity, or removal from office.  It shall not be necessary to elect the Clerk annually. The Clerk shall be elected by the Board of Directors and shall serve until either his or her resignation, death, incapacity, or removal from office by the Board of Directors.


5.2
​ The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation and shall have such other duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors may delegate or designate. He shall, when present, preside at all meetings of the Members and Directors, and shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Board of Directors are carried into effect.

The Treasurer shall be the financial officer of the Corporation, and shall, subject to the control of the Board of Directors, have immediate charge of the books of account and of the corporate funds and securities. He shall disperse the funds of the Corporation as directed by the Board of Directors, deposit such funds in the name of the Corporation in such depositories as are designated by the Board of Directors, and shall keep records of account showing accurately at all times the financial condition of the Corporation, which records of account shall at all times be open to the inspection of the Directors.  He shall also furnish to the President and to the Board of Directors, whenever requested, a statement of the financial condition of the Corporation and shall perform all other duties incident to his office and such other duties as may be prescribed by these By-Laws, the Directors, or the Members.  The Treasurer shall, if required by the Directors, give bond, to be held by the President for the faithful discharge of his duties, in such sum and with such sureties as the Directors may require or approve.
 
5.5
The Secretary shall keep a record of the correspondence of the Corporation, and of the business transacted at all meetings of the Board of Directors and at the Annual or special meeting of the Members of the Corporation; and shall maintain the role of the Members of the Corporation and their addresses.  The Secretary shall also perform such other duties as the Board of Directors may from time to time direct.

This officer may hold another position within the club following their 4 year term. Officers may run for a previous position in which they had reached term limits, so long as a minimum of 1 term (2 years) has passed, or they are appointed due to an unexpected vacancy.
