Yes, it’s that time of year again where we supply the pizza and you supply the votes. What a challenging and exciting year it has been at the Roadies HQ. We’ve had so much energy and great ideas come forward this year and we can’t wait to take this Club into it’s next phase of the modern running era. Nominations are open for members to submit their vote for a new committee for 2015.
Noting the requirements outlined in section 11 of the CRRTC Rules Of Association 2012, the following key points of note are:
- All the current committee will be standing down, (still eligible for re-election if nominated)
- All nominations must be submitted to the secretary – secretary@roadrunners.org.au – by 7pm Wednesday 24 September, by filling out a Nomination Form
- Each member of the association present and eligible to vote at the annual general meeting may vote for 1 candidate for each vacant position on the management committee.
There are many ways you can contribute and the basics of being on the committee are:
- Meet at least once every calendar month
- Plan Future of club and races to be held
- Ensure race coordinators and volunteers are briefed with knowledge and resources for races
- Have your say on the future of Cairn’s greatest, oldest and most iconic club
- Provide support and inspiration to fellow club members old, new and in-between
Every club member should at least exercise their club right to vote on future committee to ensure we maintain democracy and appoint those leaders within the club will best represent your club desires.
If you can’t make the AGM then please email in your Proxy Vote Form to secretary@roadrunners.org,.au
