MX-West Ownership
Posted: July 22nd, 2009, 11:52 pm
Hi Everyone,
As a few of you may know, Kevin Gee has recently passed the remaining control of MX-West on to me. But unfortunately, due to me being a one man show, this has not been an easy nor successful task on my behalf. On that note, I would like to extend a big thank-you to Jesse Krsa of Alberta as well Monte Lamarche & Tyler Hamm of BC for picking up the slack in many areas.
Now the main reason for this topic is appoint a new administration of MX-West, in order to keep the club alive. The club needs a new fire behind it, and I believe it is time for someone else to take the reins. I have been with the club since 2002 with trips to Vancouver and soon after started the Alberta division of the club. I have built and designed the website from the ground up, but with a busy life schedule I was unable to keep it up to date as much as I would like. Whomever takes over as President will receive guidance and assistance with transitioning information as well as moving the domain registration and hosting to a new web developer. Consideration as to how the club expenses will be paid will also need to be taken into account. I have stopped collecting membership fees and have funded things like domain registration and partial hosting out of my own pocket as I felt members were not getting their money's worth.
Now I will leave it up to everyone to provide votes for who they believe should take over the job. My thoughts are that the club should have one main President and then a Vice-President of each geographical region. Ex: VP Calgary Division, VP Okanagan region, VP Washington, etc. But of course that is completely up to the new President. My Presidential recommendations would be for someone who has great popular support as well as being able to take action to achieve results. The individuals that I will place in this poll are by no means bound to becoming president. But I feel these are senior members and should get first consideration. This is to see who the members would like to have as their new club president.
