Club Election

At the first DMSMC meeting, we discussed putting together a leadership team for the organization. In my opinion, the time has come to move forward and get the team in place. We have a lot going on, and I believe it is very important to get this completed before our first event on March 4^th. On the original Wiki page, there are several key positions identified. May I suggest we use these roles for our officer positions and add a Vice President and secretary/treasurer role? At a minimum, I think we should at least fill the President, VP, and sec/treas positions.

If nobody objects, I’ll volunteer to coordinate the election. Let me know.

Thanks for getting this started, John. I think it would be wonderful to have you coordinate these elections. I also like your addition of Vice President and Secretary to the list.

So, by my count, these are the positions we would be looking to fill, correct?

President
Vice President
Secretary
Programming Director
Partnership Director
Promotions Director
Production Director
Membership Director

I would like to nominate Mike Templeton for President of SMCDSM.

We also need a treasurer and a communications director. Also, can someone explain what a "production director" and a "promotions" director does? Thanks. Claire

Thanks for the nomination, Claire!

I second the treasurer role. I think communications fits under what SMC has suggested as the promotions director, though we can call the roles whatever we want.

Here are some quick bites about the roles suggested by SMC on the original wiki:

Programming Director - Developing and managing the schedule of events, identifying topics, coordinating with the Partnership Director to secure speakers and identify venues.

Partnership Director - Managing relationships with other organizations, building and maintaining relationships with sponsors and venues.

Promotions Director - Managing community content, Twitter account, coordinating promotions and publicity for events.

Production Director - Responsible for all aspects of event execution, including managing on-site activities, coordinating food and drink, managing development and collection of feedback.

Mike, I think the promotions director should be labeled "Communications" director, because it more accurately describes the job, and also because there are so many similar sounding "P" words as titles already.

I would like to suggest we change that for the sake of clarity. Any other suggestions?

John, what are the next steps once we get the job titles settled?

Thanks,

Claire

I'd like to nominate Claire for Vice President. We also might consider some self nominations or this thread could get a little long. I'd be up for doing anything other than Treasurer, I don't want to deal with the money.

Nothing wrong with self-nominations, at least in my opinion. I'd love for people to volunteer for specific roles within the club.

Thanks, John. Please post your email address for people to contact you. Otherwise, they have to "friend" you on here which is fine but creates an extra step. : )
Thanks!
