2021 / 2022
Committee Nominations & Voting
2020 – 2021 Season – A year like no other!
Due to the pandemic, this year we are having to run the AGM slightly differently.
You will now nominate members for their role online.
A few weeks after you will be able to vote for those that are nominated.
The AGM will be held on Zoom (and streamed live to our Facebook Group) a week or so after the nomination voting closes rather than “a show of hands” like we usually do at a ShowNight.
Full details and a timeline can be found below, we have tried to simplify the process by making each part close on a Sunday in 3 consecutive weeks.
You will need to be logged into the SEDA website to send in your nominations and vote for the committee roles
Roles and Responsibilities
Chairman
A person chosen to preside over committee meetings and steer SEDA as the head of the association throughout their term.
The chairman often sets the agenda of meetings and ShowNights.
Vice Chairman
Similar to the chairman, the vice chairman is a person chosen to be “second in line” and carries the same responibilities as the Chairman and should be ready to step up and take the reigns should the Chairman require them to do so.
Honorary Secretary
A person chosen to oversee and manage the association. They deal with contacts and emails from members, non-members and organisations and pass on any needed information to the rest of the comittee.
This person also takes care of the membership systems.
Honorary Treasurer
A person chosen as a trustee of the association. Their role is to keep SEDA’s finances in order and ensure that proper accounts are kept. They are also to the “go to” person when a expense is needed for SEDA.
Co-opted Committee
A co-opted role is very open. There is no particular definition for this role but they are created as the comittee or members feel is needed. Examples of co-opted roles could be a member to run the SEDA shop, a member who takes care of the website and technical duties or a member(s) who would be willing to be promote the association.
