Annual General Meeting – November 19

Champlain Park Community Association (CPCA) AGM

Thursday November 19, 2015
Champlain Park Fieldhouse @ 7:15 PM

Election of Officers and Call for Volunteers

• You can ask to be nominated for any of the positions listed in the attached organizational chart
• Names of current nominees are listed on the chart. Most are current executive members who are willing to stay on.
• However we are actively seeking new board members.
  Some positions can be shared as there is always plenty to do. For example, we have 2 Co-Chairs.
• We also have an executive position called “Member at Large”. This allows people to be on the executive without a specific “portfolio” and to contribute in a variety of ways as per your interests. Some of our current board members started as Member at Large and then “specialized”.
• Please see the organizational chart to get some ideas of how you might contribute if you are interested in becoming an executive member or non-executive volunteer.
• If you are thinking of joining the executive/board in the future, attending some of our open executive meetings (advertised on our website) is a good way to familiarize yourself with the work of the community association.

Contact (for info or to be added to the slate of executive/board member nominees for the election):
CoChair1 champlainpark@gmail.com, (leave name, phone number, position/type of volunteer work of interest)

In addition to exec/board nominees, we are looking for the following types of Volunteers:

• All committees welcome new members
• Coordinators for next year’s Halloween party are needed; this year it did not happen due to lack of volunteers to co-ordinate. Contact Carol Arnason carol.arnason@ocsb.ca
• Membership Drive happens in the spring and is an important source of revenue for the association. We need door to door canvassers, who each take on a block or two of homes. Contact Boris Jacouty bjacouty@gmail.com
• Neighbourhood Watch requires block captains. Contact Sarah Livermore sarah.livermore@hotmail.com
