The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee (hereafter ‘the Executive’) includes the following positions:
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary
  • Events and Fundraising Coordinator
  • Women’s Representative and League Ombudsman
  • Operations Coordinator
  • Membership Coordinator
  • Communications Officer

If an Executive role is not filled, Executive members must ensure the successful functioning of the League. In such a case, the Executive must share the duties normally performed by that role until a suitable replacement is found.

An Executive member must resign if:

  • He or she demonstrates ongoing incompetence by neglecting critical duties assigned to his or her role as set out in the By-laws, or;
  • He or she wilfully acts outside the best interests of the League or its membership with the intent to negatively impact the League;
  • The membership presents the Executive with a petition signed by a simple majority (50% plus one vote) of members in good standing who support the removal of that Executive member.
  • If a member of the Executive clearly meets any one of the criteria above but does not resign, the Executive may hold a vote to remove that Executive member. This vote will be held by closed ballot, carried by a two-thirds majority (66% of the entire Executive).
  • If an Executive position becomes vacant mid-term, the Executive may consider candidates from the membership for that position. The Executive has the authority to appoint a suitable candidate at its discretion in such a case
