Calling all members

Dear members,
 
Last December, a new Board of Directors was elected.  It is made up of ten volunteer members.  We can rejoice in the fact that we filled all the positions this year.  Many of them remained vacant over the recent years due to a lack of interest or availability on the part of club members.  
 
Those of you who have served on the Board of Directors (BD) at one time or another will tell you that the responsibilities can become too demanding when they end up having to carry out most of the tasks associated with their administrative responsibilities on their own.  
 
To remedy this situation, the new Board has passed a resolution to create ten new operational committees to support Board members in the planning, organization and execution of club tasks. 
 
There are several advantages to setting implementing such committees starting with encouraging members who wish to get involved but do not wish to commit to a position on the BD. It also allows us to put the experience and skills of our members to work for the benefit of the yacht club, with a view to improving the way we do things, controlling our operating costs and preparing the next generation of directors.
 
Best of all, it will help us better respect the spirit in which our club was founded, that of a club with a cooperative vocation. It is with this in mind that we are appealing to all of you, as it is critical that all members become involved in various ways in the management of our club and in carrying out the tasks required to maintain the high quality of our facilities and services.
 
We have all adhered to these concepts and agreed to abide by the club’s rules and regulations by becoming members of the IPYC.  Today, we want to structure and facilitate everyone’s involvement through these operational committees to better orchestrate all the tasks inherent in managing our day-to-day operations and activities throughout the year, related to the harbour, the races, the grounds, the clubhouse, equipment, social activities, memberships, finance and communications.
 
Please complete and return the questionnaire to the following address https://www.ipyc.ca/operational-committee-form/  in order to communicate your interest in contributing to one or more of the committees, specifying their level of experience or the skills they wish to offer, and his or her degree of availability (time). Hard copies will also be available at the club, which you can return to a member of the executive.
 
 
It is with this information on hand that the directors will be able to create their operational committees to better plan and share the workload associated with each of the business sectors at the beginning of the year.
 
The appendix attached to this email provides a brief description of the roles and responsibilities and the name of the Board member responsible for each operational committee.
 
Thanking you in advance for your valuable cooperation and participation in this process.
 
We look forward to collaborating with everyone in the months to come.
 
 
Your Board of Directors
