NGHA Member's Meeting:

Proposal of 2024-25 Board Structure and Constitution Updates

June 11, 2024 at 6:45PM - Walter Baker Cafeteria

Purpose

This meeting ahead of the AGM will focus on reviewing the proposed NGHA board structure, and corresponding updates to the Constitution.

In the event that the proposed board structure is not approved, we will proceed by voting for members based on the existing board structure and any vacancies that may exist.

Proposed Organizational Chart

The proposed NGHA board structure has been designed to meet the needs of our growing membership by updating the role of Treasurer to Vice President, Finance and adding an Administration Director position that will be responsible for a number of communications and other administrative functions to keep members up to date on important NGHA information and initiatives. 

The proposed structure includes 11 voting members + President, as follows:

• President
• Secretary
• VP of Operations
• VP of Programs
• VP of Finance (formerly Treasurer)
• Registrar
• House League Director x2 
• Competitive Director x2 
• Policy, Risk and Safety Director
• Administration Director *NEW*

Constitution Updates

The Constitution updates will align with the proposed organizational structure, with a particular focus on Section 3: Officers and Directors
