Satyricon has existed as a viable community organization for as long as it has because of its committee structure. We encourage all of our lovely members to consider volunteering to be elected as a board member. Whether you are new to the community or have been in it for a long time, it doesn't matter. What's important is to have passion, commitment, and integrity to serve the group's membership and to work for the group's success.
The annual Satyricon Board Elections are coming up on Saturday March 14th, 2019, and we are looking for folks who are interested in taking part in this organization to step up and run for one of the four available officer positions. All positions are open for the upcoming year and in need of members to fill them, so please consider doing so.
The Satyricon Board is comprised of five members:
President: The president's principal duties are to organize and oversee the group's munches and regular meetings and to ensure that they take place. The president also functions as the main contact person for the group and is responsible for making sure that all requests for information are answered, as well as moderation of all electronic forums. The president also has the authority to place a tie-breaking vote when necessary and when there is no immediate past officer or when there is an issue before the executive committee on which the immediate past officer cannot vote.
To be eligible for the office of President, you must be a current member of Satyricon Wisconsin in good standing and have been a member for at least 6 months.
Vice President: The Vice President's principal duty is to advertise and promote Satyricon meetings and events. The Vice President is also responsible for seeing to the upkeep of the website. To be eligible for the office of Vice President, you must be a current member of Satyricon Wisconsin in good standing and have been a member for at least 3 months.
Secretary: The secretary's principal duties are to maintain all group paperwork, to include the keeping and filing of signed membership statements and to ensure adequate copies of any group documents needed for group activities, and to provide minutes for meetings and other group activities. To be eligible for the office of Secretary, you must be a current member of Satyricon Wisconsin in good standing and have been a member for at least 3 months.
Treasurer: The treasurer's principal duties are to collect donations and other fees, to track group finances, and to ensure that group bills are paid and reimbursements are made in a timely manner. The treasurer must also be prepared to provide a financial statement every three months, to include the annual meeting. To be eligible for the office of Treasurer, you must be a current member of Satyricon Wisconsin in good standing and have been a member for at least 3 months.
Immediate Past Officer: The duties of the immediate past officer consist of providing continuity with the previous executive committee and giving guidance to the present executive committee as needed. Although a non-voting officer, the immediate past officer does have the authority place a tie-breaking vote when necessary. The Immediate Past Officer is chosen by the previous board and therefore is not a member voted position.
As a member of Satyricon's board, the time commitment is one in-person monthly member meeting held on the second Saturday of each month as well as board meetings scheduled as needed at the convenience of the board members, generally held as a teleconference meeting unless otherwise planned. There will also be other administrative tasks such as responding to email, writing forum and website posts, designing fliers, scheduling munches, and other tasks as dictated by the individual board member titles.
If you have questions about this posting or about any of the positions available, please reach out here or to one of the current board members. We are always happy to answer any questions you might have.
We look forward to seeing you!
