April 9th 2012
This is a reminder that we will be meeting Monday, April 9 at 7pm in the training room on the third floor of the Franklin Municipal Building. This is a very important meeting as we will be electing officers and filling two vacancies on the town committee (to bring us to 35 members). Please make every effort to attend. Here is the agenda:
As part of the reorganization, we shall elect the following (I have attached a copy of the by-laws for reference):
Here are the duties of the officers:
The local chairperson shall be the principal executive officer of the town, ward or city committee, with primary responsibility for enforcement of the provisions of this Charter and by-laws at the local level and for communications between local committees and the State Committee. The chairperson shall preside at all meetings of the local committee and at caucuses called by it.
The Vice Chairperson, in the absence or inability of the Chairperson, assumes the duties of the Chairperson. In the event of removal or resignation of the Chairperson, the Vice Chairperson assumes the office of Chair.
The Secretary keeps a true, accurate and complete record of the proceedings of the meetings; issues written notices in advance of all meetings of the Committee; and is responsible for the incoming and outgoing correspondence of the Committee. The Secretary is responsible for maintaining the mailing list of the Committee.
the Treasurer has the care and custody of all funds of the Committee; receives all incoming moneys and pays out all moneys for expenses, donations and other expenditures required in the conduct of the Committee's business; and keeps an accurate, up-to-date financial record. The Treasurer makes an annual report of the Committee's finances, and periodic interim reports. These reporting requirements and Finance Guides can be found at www.mass.gov/ocpf.
The Affirmative Action and Outreach Advisor encourages full participation by all segments of the population, with emphasis on such target groups as African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Cape Verdeans, physically handicapped, youth, the economically disadvantaged, and senior citizens, and works towards a balance between men and women on the Committee.
