Meeting Agenda

Board Nominations

The Secular Humanists of Western Lake Erie is a demo­c­ra­t­ic mem­ber run group based on a set of Bylaws. Those bylaws, and the state of Ohio, require we have a Board of Directors to han­dle the day-to-day oper­a­tion of the group. This includes set­ting pol­i­cy, pro­gram­ing for meet­ings and events, and main­tain­ing the finan­cial health of the group.

There is no pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence need­ed to serve on the Board. The only require­ment is you have to be a vot­ing mem­ber — that is you have paid dues. We meet for no more than hour every oth­er month or more often if need­ed, usu­al­ly online using Zoom. And we do ask you to attend at least one meet­ing or event each month and make a dona­tion or two if you can. (Donation of time or in-kind goods counts).

The offi­cers of the group are select­ed by the Board from the mem­bers of the Board. Other duties of the Board is explained in the SHoWLE Bylaws. We do ask peo­ple 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 oper­a­tion of the group and if you would like to influ­ence the direc­tion or pro­gram­ing of the group, join­ing the board is one way to do it.
