Our November 16 AGM is the time when all board members are elected for the following one year term. Any resident of our community who has a valid membership can run for a position and vote. All positions are filled by acclamation if only one person steps forward, or a majority vote for a contested position, whether there is an incumbent or not.
The following board positions will be open for new volunteers:
Communications Director
Communication is a crucial part of our organization and this Director is involved with promoting two way conversations between the board and our community. The tools for this include our website (hh-bh.ca), Beacon newsletter, email subscriptions, Facebook and Twitter. It may sound like a big job but one that is shared with several experienced volunteers who contribute behind the scenes to provide content and support.
Education Director
Our Education Director is involved with the running of our community play school, an important service that we offer parents with children aged 3 – 5. It is directly under the umbrella of our community association and as such needs to be supervised closely to fulfill our legal governance requirements. The Director acts as a liaison between our association and the play school parent committee and is an important resource person who can help make sure that we are providing a quality program for our children.
Sears Plume Director
The Sears Plume Director is our community’s representative who communicates directly with Sears Canada Inc. and Clifton Associates Ltd. This position involves informing residents regularly about the Sears Plume and its remediation process by submitting monthly reports to our community board meetings, and yearly reports at our AGM. As well, updates and communications from Sears and Clifton are distributed to residents through The Beacon and are posted on our website (hh-bh.ca).
Facility Co-director
This director will work with Gunter Sammet, our current director, to supervise the facility manager who is a paid employee of our association. Our gym is very important to our community as it allows us to offer sports programs to residents of all ages. Along with the board room, its rental is also an important source of income to other groups. The co-directors work together to make sure that the building is maintained and that the facility is run smoothly and efficiently.
If any of these opportunities appeal to you, please contact the president, Laura Hunt at: president@hh-bh.ca. We would love to have you join our community association board!
