As we move into October, the changing seasons remind us that transitions are a natural and necessary part of community life. Along with the cooler weather and shifting colours, MPCA is preparing for our own season of change with the upcoming Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, October 21.
This year, the Vice President role is up for election. Our current Vice President will be stepping into the President role after completing a two-year term, and this transition opens the door for a new volunteer to join the Executive team. The Vice President is an important support to the President and Board. This role includes chairing meetings if the President is absent, substituting for the President at events when requested, ensuring required insurance policies are maintained, carrying out other duties as assigned by the Board, and attending monthly Board meetings. It is a meaningful opportunity to learn about the leadership of our community association and contribute to the direction of MPCA.
We are also looking for a new Hall Director, another board role up for election. The Hall Director oversees the operation and upkeep of the Hall, provides guidance to the Hall Manager, prepares budgets for the Hall’s operations, coordinates with the Grants Director for applications related to the Hall, reports to the Board, and attends monthly meetings. This role is vital in keeping one of our busiest community spaces running smoothly.
In addition, we are seeking two coordinators to strengthen our team. The Grants Coordinator position is ideal for someone passionate about making a difference and skilled at writing. This role involves matching MPCA programs with grant opportunities, preparing clear and concise applications and budgets, providing updates to the Board and financial team, and managing reporting. Your work would directly support the growth of our programs, enhance our facilities, and help us give back to our community.
We are also looking for a Casino Coordinator. The casino is one of our biggest fundraisers, and the funds raised support many essentials such as facility insurance, hall cleaning, supplies, utility costs, maintenance and repairs, and the promotion of community events. Helping to organise this fundraiser is a great way to ensure our community continues to thrive.
If you are interested in volunteering for any of these roles, please email [email protected]. This season of transition is a wonderful time to step forward and make a lasting impact in Mount Pleasant.
