Thank you to everyone who's shown an interest in joining the committee so
far. There is still time to submit your nomination (just 10 days left to do
so).
Also news just in is that we are looking to recruit a new Secretary for the
committee to replace me. I am not actually leaving, but taking over the
role of Treasurer and so the Secretary role is now vacant. I've honestly
loved being secretary as it gives you a really good overview of the work of
the committee and would recommend it as a role, particularly if you have
broad interests. I'm available to chat further about what it involves, but
have included some info below as a starter.
The Secretary is a member of the Executive team, working closely with the
Chair and Treasurer. There's lots of variety in the role, but some of what
it entails includes:
· Organising Committee Meetings (two face to face and two
teleconferences)
· Taking Minutes
· Assigning Tasks
· Monitoring and managing Memberships
· Assisting with events as appropriate
· Assisting the Chair with day to day responsibilities
· Administration
· Assisting the Chair with the AGM: announcements, committee vacancies
and nominations, compiling reports, writing reports etc.
Nominations for this, or for general committee roles, should be sent to
[log in to unmask] by midday on 18 October 2016. Please
include your contact details, an indication of which role(s) you’re
interested in, and a brief biography (for previous examples, check out
the current
Committee bios <http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/about/mcg-committee/>).
Self-nominations are welcome.
