[Exiles Members] Annual Elections and Officer Positions

[Pat Collins]

All,
As you know, the Exiles Elections are coming up in March and April. You
should have received an email about the open positions, I am including the
information in this email in case you missed it. As stated below, it is
important to consider running for an officers position this year,
especially the co-coordinator positions. I will not be continuing in this
capacity and as you know, Jak has stepped back from that position due to
personal reasons. So the club will be without any coordinators; both
positions need to be filled. In addition, there are many other key roles in
the organization that keep things running.

The Exiles is the only leather/BDSM 501(c) educational organization in the
bay area for self-identified non-male members. It is an important part of
the leather community and would be a big loss to the community if it could
not continue its mission. The club is made up of all volunteers and
consistently it is a small group that keeps the club going, but that is not
sustainable. They will eventually burn out. We have been increasing our PR,
and reaching out to younger and POC members of the community and hopefully
that will lead to new members in the future, but hopefully you, the
existing members, will consider stepping up.

If you receive value from our educational programs and believe the
organization is an important part of the community, please consider running
for an officer position. They are listed below with a brief description of
the role. Of course, we will support and help new officers in any way
needed and there are detailed descriptions of the job responsibilities that
will be provided to new officers in our Policies. (make this a link)

(Note that the font size changes from here. Should make it consistent)

We will vote on key officers at the March program, and appoint other
officers at the April business meeting. As is often the case, *some of the
officers have served for a while and are ready for a break, and we have
some open positions, so we are seeking members who are interested in
helping keep the Exiles alive and well by serving as an officer*.



These are the officer positions that will be voted on at the March program:



Coordinators (2): Manage the administration of the organization.

Membership Officer: Manages memberships

Treasurer: Manages the finances

Recorder: Manages minutes and communications, except the newsletter



These are the officer positions that will be voted on at the April business
meeting:



Newsletter Editor: Prepares and distributes The Lunatic Fringe

Outreach/PR Officer: Manages publicity and outreach.

Orientation Officer: Responsible for Orientation

Doorkeeper: Manages the door at programs

Sergeant-at-Arms: Provides security at the door for Exiles functions.

*Web Site Manager*: Maintains and manages the official Exiles website.

*Volunteer Coordinator*: Recruits and manages volunteers

Again, please consider running for one of the positions. Volunteering is a
great way to meet new people and give back to the community. If you are
interested in a position and want more details about the responsibilities,
please feel free to contact me at pat at theexiles.org. I would be happy to
discuss the position and send you the detailed information.

Let’s keep this club alive and serving the leather/BDSM women in the bay
area.

Pat
Coordinator Exiles

It’s your club, help make it what you want it to be.

Volunteers are not paid, not because they are worthless but because they
are priceless.
