Procedures for the Office of President

 

Adopted 8/8/2004

 

The president presides over the chapter and chairs meetings of the board of directors and the meetings of the full membership at the spring and fall chapter meetings. 

 

A separate set of procedures has been developed for business meetings and elections.  It is the responsibility of the president to set a time and date for the board meetings, to solicit reports and agenda items from officers and committee chairs in advance, and to distribute the final agenda, including reports on the consent agendas, to board members at least three days in advance of the board meeting. 

 

Following the election of new directors at the spring chapter meeting, the president should make sure that all outgoing, holdover, and incoming directors are made aware of the date of the next board of directors meeting, at which time the holdover and incoming directors will elect officers from among themselves.

 

For the business meeting at the semi-annual chapter meetings, the president should make copies of the agenda, including the consent agenda, and distribute it to everyone in attendance at the meeting. 

 

The full agendas of board and full-member meetings may also be posted in advance to the chapter’s e-list at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/halseyhall.

 

The president should be familiar with the functions regarding chapter management on the SABR web site (http://sabr.org).  This can be accessed after logging into MySABR and then:

·         clicking on “Admin” in the left-hand column

·         clicking on “Management” in the left-hand column

 

Under Regional Roles will be the Halsey Hall Chapter with several links:

·         Manage Members

·         Contact Members

·         Roles

·         Settings

 

These links can be followed to add members from outside the region to the Halsey Hall Chapter (Manage Members), send an e-mail to all chapter members or to receive a text file of all chapter member information (Contact Members), change the roles of chapter leaders (Roles), and to check and/or add a zip code range for core and satellite members (Settings).

 

After the election of new directors and officers each year, the outgoing president should make sure that the new roles are listing for the incoming officers and directors, either by advising the webmaster to take care of this task or doing it himself or herself.
