Notice of Annual Meeting and Board Elections
Meeting topics will include:
- A brief review of the year 2011 and a look ahead to 2012 from CRI Directors
- An announcement of the formation of an equipment committee to update our 3 year equipment plan
- Announcement of a task force to review the General Sweeps programs at CRI
Two member-elected board positions will be open at the CRI Annual Meeting on December 8th.
Every year two members are elected to 2-year terms on the CRI Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. The board plays a critical function in assessing club performance and direction, and everyone on the board puts in time to achieve results -- just like the rowers at CRI. You'll be working on issues that are CRI-wide and helping us achieve our mission: Rowing for All.
We would particularly like to encourage members with skills or interests in fundraising and with local community connections to consider running for the board.
If you are interested in running, please e-mail Lila McCain at lila_mccain@hotmail.com with a short statement describing your involvement with rowing and CRI, your non-rowing experience and skills that will contribute to the board and to CRI, and your reasons for wanting to serve on the board. At the annual meeting you will be asked to share this information with the membership before the vote.
If you have questions, please e-mail:
