[bars] Nominations Open Now for BARS Leadership - Duties

[Tom Walsh]

Following up on the opening of club nominations, here is a brief list of the major tasks for each office.  

The President and Treasurer roles have the most to do but still require only a few hours each month.  For example, finding speakers
has become extremely easy with zoom and there is a comprehensive list of possible speakers on the web to choose from.  I was able to
set up speakers for October and November with just 4 quick emails.  

President:
-  Plan meetings/programs/speakers 
-  Host Monthly Meeting
-  Write a President's message for newsletter      
-  2-6  hours per month

Vice President  
-  Assist President
-  Help with speakers and programs as needed
-  Step in should President not be available  (e.g. host a meeting)  
-  1-2   hours per month

Secretary:    
- Take and publish brief Meeting and Board minutes  
- 1-2   hours per month

Treasurer:     
-  Maintain Membership List
-  Collect Dues
-  Provide a regular Treasurer's report
-  Remind members when to renew
-  2-4 hours per month

Board Member:    
- Attend Board Meetings and vote as necessary   
- 1-2  hours per month

We need nominations to continue club operation.  Mentoring is available to newer hams who wish to serve. Please contact me now if
you are interested in helping out in one of the above roles. This is very important to the club's future.

Subject: Nominations Open Now for BARS Leadership

Dear BARS Members,

Nominations are now being solicited for all club leadership roles beginning on November 3.  We currently have one nomination for
Treasurer and one for a board member.  We need many more.  Monthly time estimates (in hours) of the time commitments are shown in
parentheses.  

All current leadership roles in the Billerica Amateur Radio Society (BARS) terminate at the November 3, 2021 meeting.  If we do not
get a full slate of volunteers, the positions will not be filled which may result a suspension of club activities following the
November meeting.  

=======================================
Monthly Time estimate follows position listing:
=======================================

President (varies from 2-6)

Vice President (1-2)

Secretary (1-2)

Treasurer (2-4)

Two Board Members (1-2)

Your club needs you to volunteer a few hours per month, else there is no club.  If you would like to consider helping but wish to
discuss first, please email me at k1tw at arrl.org with your phone number and I will contact you.

Interim BARS President
