Hello!
It's that time of year again. NOTR annual meeting. The active members have already been sent an email, but for the rest of you, here's what's going on.
1) MEMERSHIP
NOTR has membership, to be a member you need to have come to game once a month for three months in a row and fill out a little form, show your id, and sign that you understand your rights and responsibilities as a member (one of which is attending the annual meeting).
If you're not a member and wish to be, please email us at notr at emeraldchronicles dot com, we will need an ST to verify your attendance and get you to do the form thing.
2) BOARD OF DIRECTORS
NOTR has a board of directors which is elected by the members. The board then runs NOTR. There must be at least 3 and no more than 5 directors at any given time. Directors serve for 2 years, and elections are held every year so that the new board members will always have some experienced board members working with them.
Current BoD: Kaine Chandler, Tai Knutsen, Nate Martin
This year, my term is up and I will NOT be seeking re-election.
If you want to run to be on the board of directors, you must be a member (see above), over 18, not in serious legal trouble, etc.
We MUST find a new director this year. This isn't just me being done or anything, I'm planning to leave the country, so cannot continue being on the board. We are obligated by our Bylaws & WA st law to have 3-5 board members, so if that doesn't happen, NOTR might dissolve, which is problem cause then who would sign leases and write rent checks?
3) OFFICERS
NOTR has 3-4 officers, President, Vice-President and Secretary/Treasurer. The job descriptions are all in the bylaws. Officers are appointed by the board of directors, not elected by the member base.
Current Officers: President: Kaine Chandler, Vice-Pres: Tai Knutsen, Sec/Treasurer: Jennifer W-S
I have been acting as NOTR President since its inception, and will no longer be in that position shortly. The board will need to reassess those posotions.
While it is likely that an existing officer will step up to President, this will still leave a vacant spot. So, if you wish to be an officer of NOTR please let the board know.
4) THE MEETING
The meeting will be March 15th, at 9pm in the BGC. Even if you are not a member and do not plan to attend, please be courteous and mindful of those who are and do, as it is difficult to conduct a meeting when half the members are late or absent.
QUESTIONS: for specifics on NOTR procedure, membership, board or officer positions, please check out the BYLAWS first, but don't hesitate to ask if you need clarification or your issue is not addressed there.
