Nominations for the committee
All existing committee members must seek re-election each year at the AGM. We very much hope that we will also have some new members join in running our u3a. The committee currently has six members, the minimum our constitution requires but the committee can comprise up to 12 members.
Despite experiencing a very difficult two years of lock down and uncertainty, it is extremely encouraging that our u3a has never been in a stronger position. We have new groups, and the size of our membership comes close to meeting the ambitious targets we set ourselves before the pandemic caused so much disruption. It would be extremely helpful to have new members join the committee and contribute to all that we do and to contribute to the vibrancy of our organisation.
While there is, of course, work to be done as a member of the committee, it really is not arduous for the most part – and it is very enjoyable and satisfying. Committee members are responsible for vital activities in our organisation, such as membership, co-ordinating group activity and keeping our u3a active. You do not need prior experience of committees; your enthusiasm is the most important asset.
If you wish to stand, please complete the nomination form stating that you are applying for the role of Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, Treasurer or as a committee member.
If you require any further information about the roles or to discuss any specific positions, please contact an existing Committee Member or the Secretary.
Only paid-up members can stand for the committee, propose or second nominations. Please make sure that the persons you state as nominators have agreed and are paid up members. Existing members of the Committee cannot be nominators.
