Post Elections

Wednesday, February 5, 2014

Our teen leadership are selected through elections by the members for six month terms in September and February. These officers are the core of the leadership team, but there are many other leadership opportunities within the competition teams, the projects, and the Post activities.

Co-Chairmen (two) - Key youth leaders. Works closely with the adults to plan meetings and organize the members. Must commit to attending almost all meetings. Help conduct agenda for meetings. One active in the robotics project and one active in the rocketry project. The person with the second most votes will be the Vice-Chair of the project and assume chairman responsibilities when the chair is absent.

Communications Officer - Helps maintain contact with members. Writes and sends letters and e-mail. Helps maintain the membership database. Sends reminders for meetings. Uses our Google account for email and calendar.

Treasurer - Maintains dues and post treasury. Collects funds from members. Works with adult treasurer. Leader of the food and fund raising efforts. Helps with registration and trip activities.

Guidance:

Terms are for six months, but you can repeat in the office.
Seniors cannot hold the positions in the spring.
Nominees should have participated in the Post for at least one year.
Must have dues paid.
Past officers are part of the leadership team forever.
The person receiving the second most votes will act as Vice Chairman from the project.
All potential officers need to review the Youth Leader Guide.

We decided who will be our teen leaders for the first half of 2014, until September 2014. Their efforts will be very important during the robotics tournaments and rocket launches.
