Membership Officer Resignation and Upcoming Election

National SSAGO

Wednesday 11th of September 2019

After having been voted in as the Membership Officer on the National SSAGO Exec at the SSAGO AGM in February, unfortunately Clare Fuller has had to make the hard decision to stand down from Team Pink. The Exec would like to thank Clare for all of the hard work that she completed as part of the Exec and we wish her all the best for her future endeavours.

We will be holding an online election to find and elect a new member of SSAGO to take on this exciting yet challenging role.

If you would like to join Team Pink and take on a leading role in SSAGO to support our clubs and members while developing new skills, making new friends and having a great time while doing it, this could be the role for you. The role of the Membership Officer involves the following:

  • Supporting the creation and development of new SSAGO clubs
  • Supporting and working with current SSAGO clubs and members to help them develop and achieve the best from SSAGO
  • Liaising and working with both the Indie and Associate Reps and their respective members
  • Maintaining and updating the details of all SSAGO clubs and members
  • Working with the Treasurer on the membership return of all clubs at the start of the year
  • Working with the Chair on the maintenance of the SSAGO Support unit and the DBS status of SSAGO volunteers
  • Being a fully-fledged member of the SSAGO Exec and working with the Exec to progress and develop SSAGO
