After being the founding member, pres and chairman of the board of West Coast Fiero's of British Columbia Canada "

Since the fall of 98, yep 7 years now. We elected a board of directors to spread out the tasks, which did help, but I finally said I need a break. At the October 2005 meeting I made it official that I would step down as of the 1st of January. After listing all the things a Pres has to do for a club, everyone kinda stepped back.
So the decision was made to "NOT" have a president any longer, no more chairman, no more pres, no more head guy. The presidents duties were broken down like this.
The formating may not work but here goes.
Club Duties Roster
Duties that need to be filled.
Set up and arrange drives
Set up and arrange club promo stuff, decals, hats, shirts, jackets, business cards
Do a monthly meeting wrap up letter (email of course?)
Do a monthly meeting web gallery of pics (on line of course)
Assist and deal with inter member complaints (he said, she said, he started it no she started it, type of problems)
Deal with restaurant staff and management regarding service and booking the room, this is an ongoing thing to make sure everyone is happy
General Club Moral, posting nothing about something to just gage what the members are feeling and get a feel for what people want to do.
Stand up at each meeting and say Hay Everybody, What’s happening. Public speaking is not that hard, just get up there and relax.
Stay in contact with the other area Fiero clubs. Seattle Washington, Portland Oregon, Calgary Alberta and Edmonton Alberta.
In Charge of the Club memorabilia, photos, Parts Books, Parts Catalogs and the sign in book, the 50/50 draw, the dinner draw
At the November meeting we talked about each item and divided it up. Some of the categories got 2-3 names put in there. The Public Speaking at each meeting is going to be rotated through a half dozen members.
(our average turnout is 18-22 Fiero's and 30-40 people to each meeting) Considering California has a higher population than our entire country of Canada I think we are doing pretty good.
This will take the load off of any single person as pres and allow the club to grow as things will be able to get done rather than say hats pushed to the side to deal with a member complaint or photo gallery did not get done, because I had personal stuff to do.
