Firstly, thanks to all the people who have put their names in the hat for Leadership Roles. Following on from some discussions at the last meeting and previous conversations on the same subject, there has been the addition of an extra role as follows: Resources Coordinator. The Resources Coordinator will coordinate, compile and keep up to date a file directory of useful contacts and resources in Venice and its surrounding area as agreed by the members. The role requires a detail orientated person who doesn't mind a bit of administration. Some creative thinking involved. Secondly, re the Events Coordinator role(s), the leadership team appreciates that this role isn't clearly defined at the moment. As such it might be daunting to think about taking on this role. To clarify, current events mainly consist of the club monthly meeting so it seems better to call the current role: Monthly Meetings Coordinator. The Meetings Coordinator will be responsible for researching and confirming future venues for the monthly meeting (shared between member venues and interesting locations around the city). This role requires curiosity about the city/club membership and what they have to offer along with organisational skills. If there is interest, there could be a separate role as follows: Member Communication Coordinator. The Meeting Comms Coordinator's role consists of communicating the details of upcoming events to the membership via email, What's App, Facebook and the club website. This role requires communication with the Meetings and Membership coordinators and a degree of planning. Another option to combining the roles is that two people could apply specifically as a pair and share the roles as it suits them. Events Coordinator (s). This should probably be considered as a future role(s) as the club develops. In addition to the Club Meetings (which generally consist of club business and something informative or fun!), the club would like to start organising other events. Sports. Cinema club. Non-member friends and family events. Etc. These could be organised by the Meetings 'team' but additional subject specific volunteers are greatly welcomed. Fortunately the unseasonal April weather in Venice broke such that the day of our May meeting was sunny and warm and the barbeque planned at member, Julia's house was a great success. There were some typical US style dishes and the usual local Prosecco consumed. It is a privilege to have outside space in Venice so it's lovely to be able to share it.
Those present also talked about some of the upcoming developments for the club. In particular there was a fruitful discussion about how to pursue with the inclusion of new members to help run the various aspects of the club and the development of a resources area for members to advertise their own talents and for trusted sources to be able to present their goods and services to the members. |
