Decision Making

Although the Board is seen as the major decisionmaking body of our Club, members will often be called upon to make decisions during Club Forums and discussions, Committee meetings and at District meetings

About the Board  Prospective members of the incoming Board are nominated at the Annual General Meeting which is traditionally held on the last Wednesday of November. Once elected they work closely with the President Elect to plan for their year of office. They represent the views of members during Board Meetings, initiate club business related to their designated position on the Board and make decisions on behalf of members.Training for incoming Board members is delivered at the annual District Assembly which they are encouraged to attend. They are also able to seek support and guidance from past Board members, District Directors and the Club and District websites.Currently our Board meets every third Wednesday following our Club Meeting with an Agenda being circulated to members in the week prior to this meeting so that they are able to pass on their concerns, comments and/ or support for items to Board members. After the Board Meeting Minutes are circulated to ensure members are informed and to encourage them to raise these with the President so they can be dealt with infomrally or in accordance with Club By-Laws, at the next Board Meeting.
