Hello members- we hope you enjoyed the season and that you are doing well. Thank you to those who filled out our brief survey. If you did not get a survey, please send any comments or suggestions to info@esspa.ca. We will be using this information to assist with planning for next year.
This post is to inform you of our Annual General Meeting which will be held on Sunday, Oct 24, 2021, at 1 pm. The venue is to be determined.
As you are aware, the government and Alberta Health Services have imposed new restrictions. We are waiting for clarification around the rules, but as we currently understand them, indoor gatherings are not permitted unless a facility is willing to participate in the restriction exemption program. Masks are mandatory in indoor spaces. The exemption program requires all people entering the facility to provide proof of vaccination (2 doses will be required by Oct), or proof of a privately-paid for negative rapid test result taken within 72 hours of the event, or documentation of a medical exemption. (info taken from https://www.alberta.ca/coronavirus-info-for-albertans.aspx )
Due to these restrictions and procedures, we need an indication of how many people plan on attending the AGM so that we can find a venue that will allow enough room for everyone to attend and have physical distancing. We are asking that you please respond if you are planning to attend. Please send your name to info@esspa.ca PRIOR to Monday, Oct 4, to say that you are planning to attend.
Of course, it goes without saying that these restrictions could change and we might have to change accordingly. You will be updated if or when this happens.
We are proposing a change to our Bylaws that will need approval. The purposed change is that the positions of President and Vice President are put in off set years, instead of in the same year as currently required.
We also have a number of positions that are vacant or that are up for re-election. They are as follows:
President- term up
Vice President - currently Brent Schell is acting VP
Treasurer- vacant
Facilities and Booking Director- term up
Social Media and Website- vacant
Equipment- term up
Tournament Director- vacant
Registrar- term up
Maintenance Director- term up
Marketing and Recruitment- vacant
Ladies’ Division Co-ordinator- new
Registrar and Maintenance Director will both stand for another term but someone else may put their name forward.
Division Co-ordinators and Secretary are voted in in EVEN years and are currently occupied.
If you are int
erested in any of these positions, please check out the description of duties listed in the Bylaws on the webpage.
We thank you for your interest and participation. We look forward to seeing you at the AGM.
