Oregon SC Annual Board Elections, Membership Open Forum To Be Held Online

The Oregon SC Board decided recently that it would not be beneficial to hold an Annual General Meeting at this time. As you may recall, our 2020 AGM was scheduled for March 15, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.

Conducting an online AGM was considered, but with our Spring 2020 season on hold, there are too many unknowns - much of the information that we would review during such a meeting likely would change based on future announcements by our governing bodies and/or state and local authorities. The Board will consider holding an AGM in person later in the year if and when that becomes possible.

However, there are two important parts of the AGM that will be completed online in the near future:

Board Elections

The Board positions up for election this year are:

  • President
  • Secretary
  • Competitive Commissioner
  • Assistant Recreational Commissioner
  • Under-4/6 Commissioner

These are two-year positions that begin July 1, 2020, and run through June 30, 2022. The Board positions are vital roles in the club, and outgoing Board members will help new members in their transition. The Board meets once a month, currently on the third Wednesday of the month. If you have questions about any of the positions, feel free to email president@oregonsc.com.

If you would like to run for one of the five positions up for election this year, please email president@oregonsc.com by 5 p.m. Monday, April 27, with a brief explanation of why you would like to be considered for the position.

We will then send out a club-wide email with a link to an online form that will be used for Board voting. Each adult club member 18 and older gets one vote on each position.

Membership Open Forum

It's vital that club members have the opportunity to publicly ask questions of Board members.

We will schedule a Facebook Live session on the Oregon SC page, during which time Board president Eric Anderson will answer questions from club members. We will try to have other Board members available to answer any questions that might be specific to their areas.

As a reminder, you are always welcome to attend Board meetings - upcoming meetings are posted - and club members also can express their opinions and ask questions of specific Board members via email at any time.

Once again, thanks for your patience, understanding and flexibility during these challenging times. The Oregon SC Board continues to monitor the situation and will communicate any updates accordingly via club-wide email, the Spring 2020 Updates page and our social media channels. We encourage you to follow public health guidelines, and we wish you and your family the best of health.
