Join the Committee of Management (CoM) to help shape the Club’s future. The CoM is critical for the ongoing future of the Club. It is responsible for managing the Club’s day-to-day operations including its finances, resources, facilities, sailing and fishing activities, events, marketing, membership engagement and for ensuring it complies with its governance requirements as a registered association. I shall renominate as Commodore, unless someone wishes to nominate, but we certainly need a Treasurer, so we need assistance in this critical area.
Nominations are now open for the CoM for the 2021-22 sailing season, and nominations are sought for the following positions on the Committee:
• Commodore
• Vice Commodore
• Rear Commodore
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Captain
• Five Ordinary Members
Term of office
Each member of the CoM will hold office from the conclusion of the 2021 AGM until the conclusion of the 2022 AGM.
How to nominate
Complete the nomination form that can be found here (or at the WSC office) and return to the Secretary of the Club by noon on Saturday 19th June 2021.
How is the CoM elected?
At the Club’s Annual General Meeting which would normally be on Sunday 25 July 2021, or a date to be advised after COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. If only one nomination is received for a Flag Officer position that person will be deemed elected at the AGM. If only five nominations are received for Ordinary Members then they will be deemed elected at the AGM. If more than one nomination is received for a Flag Officer position or more than five nominations are received for Ordinary Members then a ballot will be held at the AGM.
How often does the CoM meet?
The CoM meets on the second Wednesday of each month at the Club rooms at 7.30pm.
What are the duties of the CoM and Flag Officers?
Refer to the Club Rules.
