As most of you know, Marlon (aka MarleyMar) has stepped down from the role of Events Coordinator. We appreciate and acknowledge the time and effort he put into getting ideas going and initializing a game plan for the upcoming season.

There has been a lot of the basis for this role already established by Marlon and we have decided to open up the Events Co-ordinator position for nominations again.

The role of events coordinator for the club is in itself a time-consuming role that needs dedication and time for planning. The coordinator role is more of a front-man and go-to guy for monthly event planning, and doesn't mean that you will solely be responsible for organizing and making events happen. The events coordinator is one of the most important roles in the club, as the events are what keep our club social, and help separate us from the normal "car club".

Opening up this role for nominations will bring in new ideas and suggestions for events. We hope that the next events coordinator will have that same dedication and drive that has been present by Marlon and the previous members that have held this role.

Please keep in mind that the next person to take on this role will have the assistance of all the officers on planning and whenever possible, officers chip in to make things go smoothly and to help ease the process, until the new Events Coordinator can fully take over and lead the planning.

With that being said, the position will now be open to nominations from the forum.


What's Involved?

* Welcome new members to the board
** Organize the Official monthly events (for large events, all officers pitch in to help...ie: Familia Picnic, etc.)
* Presence at regular meets and events
* Co-ordinate with the area reps for pre-meets to Official Club Events
* Participate in regular Officers meetings (approx. once every month or two)
* Within the GTA (with frequent access to the City)
* Moderate posts on the board

This thread will be used for Nominations of who you think would do a good job filling the Events Co-ordinator Position. Feel free to make self nominations, or nominate anyone that you feel would do a good job.

If anyone has any questions for any nominees, feel free to post them here. If someone nominates you, please reply to say if you accept the nomination, or if you decline it. A person ONLY needs to be nominated ONCE for consideration. This is NOT a voting or confidence thread and multiple nominations of the same person are not needed. Remember that this can be a time consuming role, so do not accept it if you don't think you have the time to commit to it. Also keep in mind that planning events will mean your participation in and around the meets and events that are setup, so being local (in the city) is vital to the person taking on this role.

Any posts that are irrelevant will be deleted without notice. Please, let's keep things on track.

Again,...self nominations ARE allowed. Don't be shy.

We will keep this thread open until March 31, 2008 at the latest. If there's not much activity, we might close it early. So get your nominations in ASAP. Once it's closed, the nominees will get a new thread to present themselves to the members of the club and answer any question that we may have.

Thanks and good luck.

What if an interested party/nominee isn't local to the GTA but still would be able to go to meets/officers meetings/etc...


(sorry if this question should have been PM'd)

I nominate starscream. I know he wants to get involved with the club and is very interested in the social aspects. I think that he could very well fill the role and bring some fresh ideas too.

I think the major concern with having an Events Coordinator outside of the GTA is that planning events and checking out spots beforehand would be a task if that person had to drive in and out just to set up an event.

Judging by the amount of the time it takes to do something like that, plus the time it takes to,plan an event, and then add in that person personal life. could become overwhelming, and therefore wouldn't want someone to accept the role and 'try' it, to only come to the conclusion that it was too much work to begin with.

Event Planning is tough (I know, cause I did it for over a year) and I had to occasionally plan and meet up with some of the other officers to help get organized. It would be tough for me (or anyone) to do that type of stuff, if I lived outside of the GTA. Schedules would interfere and stuff would have gotten put off, and then it's get put on the back-burner and so on.

This role is definitely one of the most important roles of the club. It requires time and dedication.

I am sure that being local would be a benefit. However, If the party interested was willing and is able to be present as often as required, then I respect that commitment.

The topic of 2 people for the position has been discussed, but there are other factors that have to be considered when two people are assigned ONE role. For the time being, there is a need for a sole person to assume the role.

All you have to say to accept is that you indeed accept.

That being said, I'd like to nominate Raghtal.

I'd like to nominate Raghtal.
While I am very honoured by this call to duty by El Presidente, I know for a fact that in my case, because...

This role is definitely one of the most important roles of the club. It requires time and dedication.
... I don't have the time in my schedule to bring my A game to this role in the Club. I wish I did, but I would be setting unrealistic expectations with everyone if I tried to step up only to let people down and damage the reputation of the Club.

The other people nominated and who have accepted a nomination have likely also thought this through, so I'm willing to support whoever takes this important commitment on.
