Windsurfing Tasmania (WT) is looking for nominations for the position of President and Treasurer. These key positions were made vacant at the last AGM (March 2010). Once nominations are received a special meeting of the WT Committee will be held to vote in the two successful nominees. The positions are:

President - to guide and develop windsurfing in Tasmania with the support of the WT Committee by supporting existing events and promoting new events. Key goals will be to increase membership numbers and participation in social and competitive events.

Treasurer - to receive membership payments, facilitate quarterly payments to the Australian Windsurfing Association (AWA) and to provide an annual summary of finances. Key goals will be to set up an electronic funds transfer (EFT) system for direct payment of membership fees, management of member details and assignment of unique sail numbers for members.

The successful nominees will be windsurfers currently residing in Tasmania who have a passion for the sport and the energy to drive it forward. Much of the focus to date has been on racing events, but more consideration could be given to social events (off-the-water), beginner days and social gatherings to increase the membership base. There is also the opportunity for local windsurfing clubs to be set-up within the WT umbrella. Such clubs would allow more specialisation of interest within a geographic area.

Please post your nominations to this forum. Nominations will need to be seconded, so if you agree with a nomination, please provide your support by posting it to this forum. For nominees to be considered, the nominees will need to accept their nomination!

All successful nominations will be considered by the WT Committee and put to a vote for election to the nominated position of President or Treasurer. This call for nominations will close on April 30th or before this date if it is clear there has been sufficient nominees and discussion.

This is a great opportunity to get involved in the direction of your sport. These positions will be fully supported by the Secretary and Committee members of WT.

Let the nominations begin ….
