Special Election for Vice President - Nominations Sought

VICE PRESIDENT

NAMHSA seeks a Vice President!

Have you always wanted to know how the world's largest model horse hobby organization works from the inside? Have you ideas about how to make the model horse showing world bigger and better? Do you have what it takes to represent the nation on the NAMHSA Board of Directors? If you have answered Yes to these questions, then NAMHSA wants YOU!

Due to the recent resignation of the President, we are in need of a new Vice President. The position will take office after being voted in and the term will expire at NAN 2015, at which time they will then assume the office of President (for one year.) Candidates may nominate themselves, or they may be nominated by a NAMHSA member. If you are nominating a candidate, you must contact them and have their consent prior to sending the nomination.

Candidates need to be aware that the job requires making the time and commitment to QUICKLY respond to Board work and issues. Board members assume ultimate responsibility for running NAMHSA and assuring a quality NAN. Internet accessibility is required, as the NAMHSA Board is primarily an bulletin board/email entity. It requires the ability to read and respond to Board messages and/or emails every day.

Vice Presidential duties include:
  1. Act as the first officer to the President to carry out NAMHSA business;
  2. Perform the duties of the President in the absence of the President; and
  3. Serve as the President's representative as directed.
  4. The VP is the list owner of the NAMHSA-Discussion Yahoo Group.
  5. The VP has voting power.
  6. In addition, the VP will be a member of the Finance Committee, which includes the following duties:
  7. The VP should have on-line access to review the accounts.
  8. The VP shall review the account balance on a random basis (no less than every other week), and shall view an image of every paid check. After each review, the VP shall post to the BOD the result of the review.
  9. The VP shall receive the paid checks and compare the reconciliations to the bank accounts and notify the finance committee that they have been approved. The VP shall NOT be a signer on the account.
  10. The VP will also be responsible for reviewing and approving the monthly, quarterly, annual, and NAN financial reports.
  11. The sitting VP may show at NAN.
After serving as Vice President, they will assume the office of NAMHSA President for a one year term beginning at the membership meeting held in conjunction with NAN. Please review NAMHSA Bylaws Article V, Section 4 for information regarding the office of NAMHSA President.
