In two weeks we will have our first General Meeting of the fall quarter. Typically in these meetings, we recap recent club activities, update our members on the inner workings of the club, elect new officers, and vote on changes to our club documents, among other tasks. Each meeting is unique, just like how every day's wind is unique. Here are the particular details of Fall?s first general meeting. Date & Time: Wednesday October 30th, 7:30pm Location: Sieg Hall Room 232 Agenda: 1. Major updates regarding Dock Renovations 2. Happenings in the Club 3. Voting on Constitution amendments 4. Electing new officers: Co-Commodore, Secretary, Treasurer, Rear Commodore, Head Fleet Captain 5. Appointment(s) of Position Holders Attached to this email are proposed amendments to our Constitution. They are chiefly to allow for the creation of new Officer roles, and to enable the WYC to create chapters, especially a Rec Club Chapter that will interface with UW Recreation. Can I be a WYC Officer? Any UW student is welcome to run for an officer position, all you need is the drive and passion about helping your peers learn to sail. We are seeking folks for the following positions: 1. A Co-Commodore to oversee the general administration and representation of the club; 2. A Secretary (formerly ?Program Director?) to help the logistics and organization of club functions; 3. A Treasurer (formerly ?Purser?) to manage club finances; 4. A Rear Commodore to organize non-instructional and social functions of the club such as Snooze ?n Cruise, recruitment, publicity, fundraising etc. 5. A Head Fleet Captain to be the liaison between Officers and Fleet Captains in managing the condition of the WYC?s fleet. You do not need to know how to fix boats, but you should be a resourceful and proactive person for the job! *We are also always seeking Position Holders* to lead initiatives in the club such as in our fundraising, content writing/creation, social media marketing, website/database maintenance, doing outreach, representing the club in student government, to name a few. If you have interests or strengths you would like to bring to the club, you may be appointed as a Position Holder at this upcoming meeting to help run our Club! Positions we would like to fill for the upcoming year include Fundraising Chair, Recruitment Chair, Media Director, Webmaster, Social Chair, SnC Chair (for Spring and Summer), Faculty Advisors, and Fleet Captains. You can refer to position responsibilities in our By-Laws . Joining the leadership team of the Washington Yacht Club is a great way to get to know passionate people well, get leadership experience, and be a part of an incredible institution with 76 years of history at the Udub!
