SHoWLE Board of Directors Interest Form

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).

A Board of Directors shall con­duct the busi­ness of the group between busi­ness meet­ings. The Board of Directors shall con­sist of up to sev­en mem­bers who must be SHoWLE vot­ing mem­bers in good stand­ing. The Board of Directors shall elect the offi­cers of SHoWLE from among the Board.

The Board of Directors shall serve stag­gered two-year terms where four seats are up for elec­tion one year and three seats are up for elec­tion the next year.

In cas­es where there are less than three board mem­bers, the President shall appoint at least one and no more than the num­ber need­ed to have the state min­i­mum three board mem­bers total. The appoint­ments will be con­firmed at a lat­er spe­cial mem­bers meet­ing called for that pur­pose. Such con­fir­ma­tion must take place with­in six months after appoint­ment. People appoint­ed under this sec­tion must still be qual­i­fied to be a direc­tor.

Section 1 SHoWLE Bylaws

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.

Fill out this form to indi­cate your inter­est to serve on the Board of Directors for SHoWLE. If you have any ques­tions, feel free to reach out to President Doug.
