reminder: executive elections

[Christopher Shulgan]

Hi folks, just a reminder our executive elections are tomorrow! Details below. 

Paula Capela emailed asking about which positions have people continuing in their positions. Ross Burnett is continuing at recording secretary. Many of the other positions have people interested. 

A word about format and members at large. Format of tomorrow's meeting will see us start with the chair position and then move along from there. I'll describe each job and then ask each of the candidates putting themselves up for positions to provide short introductions and to give brief descriptions of the skill sets they'll bring to the positions. 

Members-at-large are people who don't fill prescribed roles but who commit to attending meetings and providing help when it's needed. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! 

Please consider filling a role with the TBCA over the next year. We've come a long way, but much more work needs to be done. We need to elevate the TBCA's profile, sign up more members and assist in the guidance of responsible development in the Bellwoods area. 

Executive election meeting
Date: Monday, Oct. 24
Location: Trinity Community Recreation Centre, 155 Crawford, 2nd floor
Time: 7 p.m.

Now, a little bit about each of the executive positions:

1. TBCA chair 
(Currently held jointly by Chris Shulgan and Joshua Shang). 
The chair runs meetings and acts in general as the TBCA's representative.

2. Treasurer
(Currently held by Derek Chadbourne) 
Treasurer manages the TBCA's finances. 

3. Minutes Secretary
(Currently held by Ross Burnett)
Minutes secretary takes notes at each monthly TBCA meeting and distributes the minutes to the membership.

4. Membership Secretary
(Currently held by Liz Magner)
The membership secretary assists in the recruitment of new members and works to elevate the group's profile.

5. Media secretary
(A new position I'm proposing)
Someone who manages the TBCA's media presence with web sites and social networking sites. 

6. Members-at-Large
(Current members-at-large are Debbie Rix, Sue Campbell, Mike Varey and Sandy Stagg.) 
The members-at-large are community members with no fixed job with the TBCA, but who come to meetings and maintain a voting voice on the TBCA executive. 

7. Liaisons
Finally, the TBCA needs liaisons to maintain relationships with CAMH and Metro Toronto Police. The police liaison, a role formerly filled by Liz Magner with impressive dedication and fortitude, attends 14 Division community meetings and keeps the TBCA informed about law-enforcement issues. Similarly, CAMH liaison was filled by Sue Campbell, who moved across the country earlier this year. Both liaison positions involve fascinating work about two valuable community institutions.   

Please consider volunteering to fill one of the above roles! 

Best,
Chris

Hi Chris and exec and members of TBCA,

Greeting from BC. I will not be running for re-election, as I am in BC until end of March. I hope to become active again, volunteering with the TBCA, when I return.

Thanks for your great leadership this past year and all the best with your book.
