We are opening up nominations for our available board positions. Below are the descriptions of the positions. Please send nominations to Deanna Baker at drbaker3@gmail.com by Sunday the 26th. If there are multiple nominations for a position, we will have an email vote by ISCAAHA members.
There are perks for being a board member! A $50 gift card for AAHA press and free subscription to Trends magazine (only Pres, VP, and secretary are eligble for these benefits)The president gets $100 at the end of term as well.
Vice President/President-Elect: The majority of this position is being available to help the president and other members of the club and learning all the tasks the president completes throughout the year so you will be prepared to take that position the following year. Go to monthly executive board meetings, help come up with ideas for lunch meetings, help set up and clean up for lunch meetings, help in passing out journals/books/fliers when they come in from nationals. There are not really any specific tasks that are yours this year, mostly just filling in areas where extra help is needed and participating in executive decision making, but see the blurb about president as whoever takes this position will be president the following year.
The duties include keeping track of the club funds, balancing the check book, researching/ordering food for club events, reimbursing exec board members that purchase items for the club, and in general doing anything that would involve money for the club. The treasurer is also responsible for submitting funding requests in the fall to national headquarters. In general this is a pretty easy going position (as are all of the3 AAHA exec board positions) and looks GREAT on your resume for internships/residencies/scholarships!
Attend monthly officer meetings. Update the website after monthly officer meetings, or as needed, to include upcoming meetings. When the new roster list is compiled, update the AAHA member list on the website. The current webmaster will teach you how to work the website program. There is now a blog and Google calendar that will make updating the website easier, straight from your own computer. Please contact the current webmaster, Keely Delcore at delcore2@illinois.edu, if you have any questions.
