CATs Committee Needs You!

The CATs AGM is coming up, on 21st November, where the roles of Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary and Committee Member will be elected. Firstly a form will be handed out in which residents can nominate people for the roles (you can copy more forms if you would like to nominate more than one person for a role) and then voting will begin. We will let you know exactly how to vote as soon as possible. It would be great to have some new faces and fresh ideas so do think about joining. 

As a resident, you may nominate people for the following officer roles, these could be current position holders, or you may wish to nominate someone new or yourself. Below are the officer descriptions taken from the constitution, does one of them describe you?:

Chairperson

1. Shall conduct the meetings of the organisation

Treasurer

1. Shall open and maintain a bank account in the name of the organisation. 
2. All cheques should be signed by the treasurer and one other executive committee member nominated by the committee. 
3. The treasurer shall keep proper accounts of income and expenditure and report at each or relevant committee meetings.

Secretary

2. S/he shall ensure that a proper record is kept of all meetings of the organisation, its committee and subcommittees, and shall deliver up such records as required by the committee. 
3. The secretary shall produce records of all meetings and general meetings and make these available to members. 

You can also nominate people for the non-officer role of Committee Member, note this on your nomination form.
