Up The Creek Ski & Rec Club Fall Elections for Board of Directors.
It is that time of the year to hold elections for ½ of the Up The Creek Board of Directors.
At the September 11th club meeting at The Proof we will be accepting nominations for Board positions that are up for election with the voting to take place 2 weeks later at the Sept 25th meeting. In order to run for election you must submit a nomination to the club Secretary, Corinna Robert on or before Sept 11th. Responsibilities of being a board member are to attend the Board meetings held the first Wednesday of the month, most club meetings the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, and assist in running the 4 free parties that UTC provides the members over the course of the year. Serving on the UTC board is a non-paid position but you do receive $400.00 a year in board comps that you can use to pay for any UTC trip or event.

The following Board positions are up for a vote on September 25th with the 1 year board term commencing on Oct 1st, 2008.
Right now the only positions that have no candidates running for are the Marketing position and Co-Treasurer position. If you have any interest in running for any board position please contact myself or any other current board member.
Vice-President of Up The Creek: Primary responsibilities are organizing the 4 free annual parties and the Friday night Happy hour locations.
Summer Chair: Responsible for the summer event season that runs from May 1st 2009 to Oct 31st 2009. This includes the prospective trip leader meetings, the summer kickoff, club meetings over the summer, and working with summer trip leaders on their trips and events.
Marketing Director: Responsible for promoting all UTC events that don’t have a designated trip leader such as The Fall Ball, Holidays Party, Spring Fling, the 4 free parties, and other events. Run the “New Member Orientations” at the 2 general membership meetings each month. Line up UTC Hosts for the Friday Happy Hours, work with other clubs and organizations to promote UTC.   
Co-Treasurer: Work with the other Treasurer on the financial aspects of running the club. This is mostly the checks and credit cards that the club receives and issuing checks to pay for club expenses. Prepare profit and loss statements for the club. Some bookkeeping experience would be very helpful in this position.
