It's the end of the year. Time for more dancers to step up and seize the reigns of this our club.

Well sort of. We're going to hold elections anyways. At our next regularly scheduled meeting (Tuesday, May 2nd at 6:30pm in the Scholars room), the winnder of the elections will be determined by vote amongst members present. The offices we recognize and incomplete descriptions of duties from Article IV of the 2005-2007 Constituion are as follows:
President - The president shall be responsible for chairing club meetings and for representing the club in an official capacity. The president shall be responsible for all correspondence relating to club business. The president shall be responsible for all preparations for club meetings and for their agendas.
I am your president since 2004 and I am running for office.

Vice Presidnet - The vice president shall temporarily assume the authority and responsibilities of the president in the event of the president's temporary absence or incapacity. The vice president shall succeed as president in the event that the president is no longer able to serve, or becomes ineligible to serve, or resigns, or is recalled. The vice president shall advise and assist the president on matters of policy and implementation. The vice president shall assist the other officers with their duties as appropriate.
Jenaya Rolhfing is your Vice Presidnet since 2004 elections and she is running for office.

Treasurer - The treasurer shall be responsible for all financial matters relating to club business, including but not limited to establishing an accounting system, collecting dues and fees, preparing funding applications, submitting all necessary receipts and vouchers for payment or reimbursement, maintaining appropriate monies and accounts, reimbursing members for approved club expenditures. The treasurer shall provide the officers a full, detailed report of club income and expenses at least once every two months. The treasurer, in consultation with the other officers, shall propose a semesterly budget at the first club business meeting of each semester.
Andrew Cohoon is your Treasurer since fall 2004 and will not be running for office on the grounds of being too busy. He will be around to assist next year, including the training of a new treasurer.

Secretary - The secretary shall take the minutes of all meetings and record all votes. The secretary shall maintain a roster of club members, including their phone numbers, postal addresses and e-mail addresses as appropriate. The secretary shall be responsible for producing and distributing newsletters and activity calendars as appropriate. The secretary shall perform various administrative duties as appropriate.
Erin Abreu is your Secretary since 2004 elections and will be running for office.

The above positions must be filled for 2006-2007 by full time students of the University of Oklahoma.

The committee chairs we have in recognize currently as fulfilling various duties of the club without being fulltime students or members of the executive board are as follows:
Publicity Chair - Responsible for organizing all advertising including but not limited to newsprint and other forms of media advertising, flyer hangnings and handout distributing, sidewalk chalking, banner posting, email advertisements, comminicating with other organizations and answering incoming questions in regards to the clubs activities.

Historian - Take photos and videos of club activities and make them available to members either in print or on the web. Chronicle all club events and any news coverage they recieve.

Special Events Coordinator - Organizing club meetings and events outside of the weekly lessons and biannual balls. This includes club hosted dances and club attended social events at area dancing venues.

We are looking at creating a Competition Liason. The duties of this office would involve talking representatives of competitions open to members of the club (college/amatuer category required) and catelogging what it would take to compete at said venue. Put together a budget, timetable and requirements so that people interested can see more easily whether or not it is possible to take part. In such an event as people from the club are interested in going, you would be expected to coordinate members to allow them to travel and room together (not necessarily become involved yourself, but someone interested in competing would be ideal for this post).

So that serves as your official notification of elections. Next email on the chopping block: notification of the next regularly scheduled meeting.
