Our Treasurer Liz Scholey will not be standing for re-election this year. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank her for the tireless work she has done has done over the years to get the finances in order, not to mention the work Liz has carried out with the JMO committee especially the EDI working group. We’re delighted that Liz will be staying in her role on the EDI panel as OM’s co-opted EDI officer, so it’s not goodbye for good, but we will be looking to fill the Treasurer position at our meeting this year. Please see below to find out how to nominate someone for this role.

In addition to the vacancy for the Treasurer’s post, we have vacancies for a Publicity Co-ordinator, Magazine Editor and Archivist. These posts are appointed by the committee and do not require formal nomination. We’d love to hear from anyone who would be interested in these roles within the team. Please do get in touch if you would like any more information about any of the above roles.

The rest of the OM Committee are happy to stand for re-election again this year.

Any new Officer nominations for any committee posts must be proposed and seconded by two OM Members, one of which must be a Member side, and nominations must be submitted by the nominating Members. Anyone being nominated must be aware of and consent to their nomination.

Additionally, if anyone has any motions or topics for debate at this year’s AGM, please also let me know by the deadline below.

Any nominations, or motions and items for discussion must be submitted by Sunday October 19th.

Submissions must be in writing to secretary@open–morris.org

Further information, including registration details, a draft agenda and notice of any proposed motions, will be published four weeks in advance of the meeting.
