GGA Steering Committee Responsibilities

It is a three (3) YEAR commitment for their term in office.

The SC does not govern but serves its members through a process of consensus.
As a SC member you are no longer an individual but the voice of six.
You are required to attend as many GGA meeting as possible but a minimum of 6 per year is required.
You will be required to set up, hold and manage two (2) GGA meetings per year.
Monitor GGA Forums. Close any inappropriate or out of control discussions. Delete any outside advertising.
Comment appropriately in any forums remembering you are a voice of six
Take a level headed and natural approach to all issues that my arise
Listen and respond to issues, ideas and suggestions of the membership and pass the information along to the SC as a whole for action.
Work with other SC members in a consensus format to resolve any issues or concerns
Work with local, State and Federal agencies and groups to promote the GGA and Geocaching.
Demonstrate a Positive attitude at all times when representing GGA
Perform all duties that may be assigned to you. Examples, Keeping minutes of the GGA meetings, Record Keeping, New Member Welcome Letter, Member Newsletter.
You may be asked to contribute cash to cover short falls in donations to cover items like meeting space rent, GGA Board expense, prize expense or other ad hoc expenses.
Keep all SC members informed of your actions

---------------------------
As the new SC member you may wish to review the guidelines you agreed to before you ran for the SC. Being the Big Kahuna is efficient for making decisions but seems to create some animosity. No criticism but collaberation and consultation with others may help prevent some misunderstandings and hard feelings.

Just goes to show being on the SC is no easy task. Good luck and have a happy New Year.

M. Moose

And thanks to MMoose for the reminder of my term duties as SC member...which actually doesn't begin until TOMORROW!
I have PM'd the Moose and asked him to help run the voting process as a couple of JBzHOW caches are nominees and, um, well, you know.

I'm working on securing a non-biased vote counter as we speak.
I'd thought about doing it myself and MMoose said he'd be happy to help, but getting an outsider to tally the vote seems much more kosher.
