I love fall. As a child with an October birthday, the start of the school year always seemed more like a marker of a new year than January 1. I start to feel the excitement of the upcoming holidays, enjoy the cooler weather and let's face it fall in Minnesota & Wisconsin is gorgeous!
For CTC, the fall means starting to plan for the next year. October is when we typically hold our elections. We will be voting on the primary board roles (President, President-Elect or Vice-President, Secretary, Treasure & Education Chair) and looking for volunteers to help plan our 2024 calendar.
Most of our current board is willing to run again for their 2023 roles, but everyone is welcome (even encouraged) to nominate candidates. You can use this link here to nominate yourself or another member. The one critical role that we do not have any nominees for is the Education Chair. As a non-profit organization that has education as a core part of our mission, the Education Chair is an important role, however, it doesn't have to be a burdensome one. There are many members involved in planning the schedule of activities, lessons and events each year and the Education Chair's role is to guide that planning, not to be the sole source of education.
In addition to the board roles, there are various coordinators that participate on the board and all members of CTC are always welcome at the board meetings (held in odd-numbered months after the 2nd Saturday meeting), Coordinators for the blog, social media, newsletter, charity and additional areas of focus are also positions available to members. We're looking for a Community Events Coordinator, and I would love to have assistance with the blog. *Update: We're also looking for assistance with our social media (Facebook, Instagram & Ravelry) and 4th Saturday Meetups.
