(June 2026 – May 2028)

Eight elected members comprise the Board:

• President

The Board plays a crucial role in driving our club’s success by providing effective strategic direction, rigorous oversight, and effective governance.

The Board meets on the 3rd Saturday of each month.

 

Club Committee

Club committees serve as vital components in facilitating our club’s smooth and efficient functioning. They offer opportunities for members to actively engage and contribute their expertise and skills in areas that align with their strengths and interests.

To ensure a good fit and maximum participation, we invite each member to join a committee that matches their talents and capabilities. By doing so, we create an environment where everyone can participate and contribute to the club’s goals.

Furthermore, it is important to note that the Club President holds the ex-officio status within all appointed committees. This means that the Club President serves as a non-voting member, providing invaluable insights and guidance, and ensuring effective coordination and alignment across all committees.

Our club’s appointed committees include:

• Fundraising

• Greater Visibility (PR)

• Membership

• Service and Advocacy

Nominating Committee

This committee holds a unique position as the sole elected committee within the club, distinct from the Club President who is not an ex-officio member. 

Comprising of three members who are well-versed in the club’s operations, its membership, and the specific qualifications necessary for each club office, their knowledge is essential in fulfilling their designated responsibilities.

One of their primary tasks is to meticulously identify potential candidates for various club positions, actively reaching out to them and seeking their consent for nomination. With a thorough understanding of the club’s dynamics, the Nominating Committee aims to assemble a diverse and capable slate of officers, directors, and candidates. This comprehensive lineup is then presented by the chair of the Nominating Committee during the club’s April meeting, serving as a precursor to the general elections held at the Annual General Meeting in May.

The Nominating Committee Members (2026-2028) are:

• Wendy Dowling, Chair

• Anette Ainsworth

• Kaye Metaxas
