What you will be doing
We are looking for a new passionate and energetic secretary to lead on and help with:
• Drafting agenda for committee meetings and sending these to the committee the week before the committee meeting with the minutes of the last meeting
• Taking minutes of the committee meeting and circulating following the meeting
• Keeping electronic copies of agreed minutes
• Preparing Annual General Meeting (AGM) nomination forms and sending notifications to members by email and to those members without email by post
• Printing additional copies of nomination forms for AGM
• Receiving all votes cast in advance, collating, counting and adding to votes on the day for the appointment of committee members
• Taking, writing up and sharing minutes of AGM (these minutes will need to be approved by members at the following year’s AGM)
• Helping to run stalls at local events and taking part in fund-raising events
• Deputising for and support the chair as necessary
• Help identifying speakers for events and liaising with them in the lead up to the meeting
Not everyone on the committee has diabetes and it is certainly not a requirement. However, interest in the condition is an advantage.
