Dear bellringer<\/p>\n
The position of Association General Secretary becomes vacant at the AGM in May, and according to our rules, nominations should be received by the February Management Committee meeting (on 2nd<\/sup> February this year).<\/p>\n The role is an important one for the association, as the Secretary pulls everything together and keeps me, the treasurer, the rest of the management committee, and the districts organised.<\/p>\n Whilst there is a time commitment associated with it, it might not be as onerous as you imagine, and the duties associated with the job could be flexed to accommodate a keen person if necessary.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to be an accomplished ringer. You don\u2019t need to have held a district role. You don\u2019t need to have been a member of the association for 20 years.<\/p>\n You do need to be organised, computer literate, friendly, open and welcoming, and to be interested in ringing.<\/p>\n About this time last year I was making up my mind whether to stand as Association Master, and was having the same series of conversations in my head and with my friends that a person interested in the secretary\u2019s role might now be having. Any minor changes I might have made in my life to be able to carry out the Master\u2019s duties have been so worth it \u2013 I\u2019ve enjoyed myself enormously this year, and want to keep enjoying myself. I can\u2019t believe that I almost didn\u2019t take this opportunity.<\/p>\n As a budding secretary, that might be you.<\/p>\n I\u2019m happy to talk to anyone that might be unsure but want to know more \u2013 contact me on master@eacr.org.uk<\/a>. The job description is also on our website:\u00a0https:\/\/eacr.org.uk\/misc\/job-descriptions\/assoc-secretary.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n Please think about standing. The association needs its members to take part in the running of the show. It\u2019s quite likely that you\u2019d really enjoy it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear bellringer The position of Association General Secretary becomes vacant at the AGM in May, and according to our rules, nominations should be received by the February Management Committee meeting (on 2nd February this year).
