We will be havÂing our annuÂal memÂbers meetÂing on October 7th via Zoom. This is the time when the Board presents the group’s finanÂcial picÂture and plans for the upcomÂing year. We can also vote on any proÂposed Bylaw changes or any othÂer issues the memÂberÂship wishÂes to bring up. The Board can also answer quesÂtions.
We will send out the Zoom link to the memÂberÂship in an email and we will post it in the event page shortÂly before the meetÂing.
Board Nominations
The Secular Humanists of Western Lake Erie is a demoÂcÂraÂtÂic memÂber run group based on a set of Bylaws. Those bylaws, and the state of Ohio, require we have a Board of Directors to hanÂdle the day-to-day operÂaÂtion of the group. This includes setÂting polÂiÂcy, proÂgramÂing for meetÂings and events, and mainÂtainÂing the finanÂcial health of the group.
There is no preÂviÂous expeÂriÂence needÂed to serve on the Board. The only requireÂment is you have to be a votÂing memÂber — that is you have paid dues. We meet for no more than hour every othÂer month or more often if needÂed, usuÂalÂly online using Zoom. And we do ask you to attend at least one meetÂing or event each month and make a donaÂtion or two if you can. (Donation of time or in-kind goods counts).
The offiÂcers of the group are selectÂed by the Board from the memÂbers of the Board. Other duties of the Board is explained in the SHoWLE Bylaws. We do ask peoÂple to serve two year terms but after each year you do have the option to rotate off the Board if you wish to do so.
The Board is the main body charged in the day to day operÂaÂtion of the group and if you would like to influÂence the direcÂtion or proÂgramÂing of the group, joinÂing the board is one way to do it.
