New
Blog: New Constitution: New Era!
Hi
Golfers!
The
2013 season is up and running and in full “swing”. Women’s Opening Field Day is Sunday May 26th.
There are still lots of blank spaces. It is a fun, relaxed afternoon of golf.
The format is Step Aside, meaning all 4 golfers drive; the shot deemed the best
is chosen, and the person who hit it must “step aside” (not hit the next
shot). This continues until the ball is
holed out. This means you are not playing the same person’s ball. No pressure! There
is still time to sign up!!
You
will see on right side pages of the blog,
a copy of our new constitution and by-laws, policies and procedures, and games rules. I would like to again
thank Jennifer Rogers and Dale Hodge for taking our previous
documents and rewriting them to simplify procedures, and clearly outline expectations
for the women’s section.
A few highlights of the changes:
~
the term of office for the positions is 2 years, with a maximum of 3 terms.
~
we no longer have a Vice Games Captain or Second Vice President on the
executive.
~
the executive sets the costs of yearly assessments, weekly games, trophy prizes
without bringing forth as a motion to the section.
~
the agenda for the AGM shall be published in advance of the meeting.
~
there is a Nominating Committee composed of the Past President, Vice President,
and one non-executive member. Nominees for executive positions are posted in
advance of the AGM.
We
will be looking for a Secretary, Treasurer, Handicap, and Historian. Please
read online or read in the locker room about the responsibilities of each
position.
The
Nominating Committee this year is Jeanne Beaith, Linda Issac, and Laura
Roberge.
