ARHVA Members,
our AGM is just around the corner.
We would like to remind all members that if you are enjoying our events, know that this is organized by volunteers that are critical to ARHVA’s success.
We are recruiting new executive members to the board for the upcoming season, seeking volunteers to consider key positions of:
-President, our current president would shadow an incoming president for 1 year to achieve continued success
-Secretary, our template in documenting our association activities has been streamlined by our current incumbent, and a new incumbent could easily follow in previous secretary’s footsteps.
-Directors, a key role in supporting our success, and we have been operating with two vacancies.
Term consists of 2 years, ARHVA’s Official Handbook of Rules & Regulations, page 3 – 10 describes the roles and we encourage all members to become familiar with the rule book. This document is updated & amended annually at the AGM.
Our volunteers are our success and without an executive the association will cease to exist.
We are recruiting a total of 6 new board members to bring us back up to a full board of 10 members.
If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know and we can put your name forward for election.
We look forward to seeing you November 11th.
