Following many years of service to the UPRRC, Stacie Nardi has decided to move retire from her role as Secretary. If you are interested in serving the Club at a higher level, we are currently seeking candidates. The duties and process for voting are noted below.
As outlined by the UPPRC Constitution, Section IV (MANAGEMENT OR GOVERNMENT) part B (Duties of the officers) subpart 3 defines the roles of the Secretary to include:
To record minutes of meetings, to keep a file of such minutes, and when requested by the president, to accept assignments involving correspondence and the keeping of records.
The Constitution also defines the term of office to be one year, beginning with or at the close of the first meeting held within the calendar year. However, offices filled upon resignation also shall expire at the time of the first meeting of the calendar year.
Elections are also documented by the constitution, which note that officers shall be elected by a majority vote of members by mail ballot and ballots presented at the annual meeting. Prior to each election a committee shall be designated to facilitate the election. A quorum shall consist of twice the number of elected officers plus one. No official meeting shall be held unless a quorum is present.
If you are interested in serving, please contact Jesse Haavisto at jhaavist@alumni.nmu.edu or any of the club officers listed on our contacts page of the website.
