By-laws Change Ballots
The Alabama Board has considered local team selection within Cluster
Groupings, and has had three pilot runs this year. To change to this format,
there has to also be a change to the Community By-Laws. This requires a vote
by mailed ballot by the Community. You will have one of these in the July
issue of The Grapevine, which will be mailed to everyone. This issue also
contains the registration for the Annual Training Event.
The change the board is proposing is this: Each Cluster Grouping will handle
their own team selection. To do this, the boards of each Cluster will select
two members who have served at least to the level of an Assistant Lay
Director to serve staggered two-year terms on the Cluster Grouping Team
Selection Committee. This CGTSC will then name two of the members of the
CGTSC, or other similarly qualified Cluster members to serve on the Alabama
Emmaus Community Board of Directors.
This would make election to the Alabama Board local to the Cluster
Groupings, and give equal representation on the board to the groupings.
There are eight Cluster Groupings, and the Alabama Board would then have
sixteen directors, who would serve staggered two-year terms. If one is
selected to be the Community Lay Director, that one would serve a third
year. This will guarantee our Cluster Grouping to always have two members on
the Alabama Board.
This is a matter that the Alabama Board has discussed for three years, and
encourages its adoption. There will be extra ballots available at the next
Franklin County Cluster meeting or you can vote as soon as you receive your
ballot in the mail. Every Emmaus member has a vote, not just one per
household. Posted on 19 Jul 2010 by elliott
EMMAUS TRAINING EVENT
The Annual Training Event will be August 13-14 at Camp Sumatanga. You will
want to watch for your Grapevine this month for the registration form. Be
sure to fill it out and mail it in by the deadline! Rooms are available in
the Retreat Center on a first come/first serve basis or you can drive down
Saturday morning if it fits your schedule better.
If you are a new Pilgrim since last August or you've never attended a
Training Event, you will definitely want to sign up and attend this
important event! You will have the chance to learn about each area of work
done on a team. And - your attendance will be noted by future Lay Directors!
So if you want to serve on a team, check into this!
That's not all! You will have a lot of fun! You'll see folks you know from
all over and meet some new friends as well! There will be singing, Community
news, lots of good food - and almost anything else you remember about being
a Pilgrim! Walk #371 will be in progress and you will want to stay for
Candlelight. This one is going to be a good one, so mark your calendar now!
You'll want to be there! Posted on 10 Jun 2010 by elliott
