COMMUNITY ALLIANCE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND OFFICERS
EXECUTIVE BOARD Any resident, property owner, or business who is a member of the Community Alliance can participate in the alliance meetings. Those who will commit to regular attendance at the meetings - usually once or twice a month - can be elected to an executive board to work on items of interest to the community. Each alliance has bylaws that specify how many can serve in a formal capacity, but anyone can attend meetings and work on projects. OFFICERS General duties are listed below. Each alliance’s bylaws outline the duties of their officers. Chairperson Responsible for the general supervisory and directional powers of the activities of the executive board and alliance. Responsible for writing and turning in meeting agendas. Presides at all meetings of the executive board and general membership. Generally an ex-officio member of all committees. Vice Chairperson Assists the chairperson. In the absence of the chairperson, the vice chairperson conducts the meetings and exercises all the usual duties of the chairperson. Secretary The secretary shall keep minutes of the proceedings of the board meetings. The secretary shall keep minutes of the annual meetings, shall be custodian of all records of the alliance, and shall be responsible for making copies of minutes available to the general membership. Treasurer Has access to the funds of the alliance. Most boards do not require anything but an occasional status report from the treasurer. (Note: this is an optional position since some executive boards do not have a treasury. The treasurer position could also be added to the secretary position for a joint secretary/treasurer.) COMMITTEES Many alliances organize their work through committees. Each alliance’s executive board decides which committees are needed and what their relationship is to the board. Some standing committees may be described in an alliance’s bylaws. Committees generally operate under the following two criteria: 1. All recommendations of the committee are approved by the alliance’s board, or 2. The committee may make recommendations on behalf of the Community Alliance and executive board within adopted policies of the alliance (e.g., neighborhood plan, special study, specific land use policies). Recommendations that do not fall within adopted policies must be approved by the executive board. Community Alliance Committees: |
