MCDC Board Elections; Call for Nominations/Bios
Hello All!
It is that wonderful time of year again where MCDC holds its annual Board of Directors election. Some of you may be thinking…didn’t we just do this?... and yes, we did, however the election held last fall was in place of the election that should have occurred last spring while MCDC was closed due to COVID. In normal years, elections are to occur each spring with new Board members taking their place by June of each year. So here we are again…
As a reminder, MCDC is a parent-run organization, consisting of a Board of Directors that includes a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar and two Members at Large. Parent involvement is critical to the success of MCDC. We highly encourage anyone interested in taking a more active role in the day-to-day operations of MCDC or that has a strong desire to serve to consider submitting their name for the election.
It is requested that those that are interested in running for a MCDC Board of Directors position please submit a short bio and the position they would like to be considered for to mcdcboardofdirectors@gmail.com NLT Friday, 23 April 2021. We currently plan to conduct the election on 6 May 2021.
The following positions are up for re-election this year:
Vice-President (2-year term)
The Vice President shall assume the duties of the President during his/her absence. The Vice President shall also coordinate the purchase of workman’s compensation and liability insurance.
Treasurer (2-year term)
The Treasurer, who must be a MSFC government employee, shall be the custodian of all Corporation funds. The Treasurer shall provide for the proper handling and recording of the details of all finance transactions. The Treasurer shall prepare a report of the Corporation’s financial condition for presentation at the General Membership meeting. The Treasurer shall prepare the annual budget, in consultation with the Board of Directors, to be approved at the General Membership meeting.
Members at Large (1-year terms)
