CASCA Seeking new officers

The 1994 CASCA Nominating Committee would like to draw the attention of the CASCA membership to the need to fill two vacant CASCA offices in the summer of 1995: the positions of Treasurer and Secretary. These offices are key positions in our Society and the Nominating Committee wishes to ensure that all candidates are considered. If you are interested in being considered for one of these offices, or if you know of possible suitable candidates for consideration, please contact the chair of the Nominating Committee, Lloyd Higgs.

It might be noted that CASCA is in the process of considering the establishment of a permanent office with part-time supporting staff, so that the duties of these two positions will likely entail less work than they have in the past. Nevertheless, these positions are extremely important for the vitality of our Society, and we urge that every CASCA member give serious consideration to volunteering his or her services for the three-year term of either of these positions. We have been very well served by the current incumbents in these offices, Christine Clement (Treasurer) and Austin Gulliver (Secretary), and are certain that equally dedicated volunteers exist within our membership.

According to our constitution (with some slight gender modification), the duties of these two officers (who are also Directors of the Society) are:

The Secretary shall attend all sessions of the Directors and all meetings of the members and act as clerk thereof and record all votes and minutes of all proceedings in the books to be kept for that purpose. The Secretary shall give or cause to be given notice of all meetings of members and the Directors and shall perform such other duties that may be prescribed by resolution of the Directors or the President under the supervision of the Directors. The Secretary shall be the custodian of the seal of the Corporation, which the Secretary shall deliver only when authorized by a resolution of the Directors to do so and to such person or persons as may be named in the resolution.

The Treasurer shall have the custody of the corporate funds and securities and shall keep full and accurate accounts of receipts and disbursements in books belonging to the Corporation and shall deposit all monies and other valuable effects in the name and to the credit of the Corporation and in such depositories as may be designated by resolution of the Directors from time to time. The Treasurer shall disburse the funds of the Corporation as may be ordered by resolution of the Directors, taking proper vouchers for such disbursements, and shall render to the President and Directors at their regular meetings, or whenever they may require it, an account of all transactions as Treasurer and of the financial position of the Corporation and shall present to the annual meeting a full and true account of the revenue, disbursements and finances of the Corporation. The Treasurer shall also perform such other duties as may from time to time be determined by resolution of the Directors.
