ALEXANDER PARK CRAFT HOUSE INC

NOMINATION FORM

To be submitted by 9th March 2023

The APCH Committee is one of the best committees to which I have belonged. Everyone works well together and we get things done efficiently. Because Executive Committee members can only hold their role for x3 years maximum, at the upcoming AGM we will need to fill the roles of Secretary, Treasurer and Booking Officer. Please have a chat with anyone in your group that you think could undertake the role and provide them with the information about the role and skill requirements of the position. 

I believe all the other office holders are willing to continue in their current roles, but nominations for these positions would also be accepted.

Ensure that:

• a member group actively chooses and nominates its representative, and nominations are not just from an individual member
• nominations for any of the office bearers positions come actively from the member group and not just an individual.  
• anyone who is nominated has been formally asked and agreed to the nomination.

Thanks,

Heather Morton

President
