Board Elections
Necessity for a Board
As we incorporate and move to create some serious forward movement for this organization we'll need a team of people who have focused responsibilities that will aid in keeping HeatSync Labs in working order. Below are a list of position ideas that the founders brainstormed. Please feel free to add additional ideas to the list. Also feel free to add yourself to the "Interested Parties" table below if you're interested in a certain position. We'll be meeting up to discuss position ideas and who may be interested soon. Check out the date under "Board Meeting".
Position Ideas
There is much written about how large a board should be. Some non profits will seek to have large boards which are meant to represent many different interests and donors in the community. Other advice argues to keep a board small and agile. For now it is expected our board will be small, agile, and targeted to the task at hand, creating a hackerspace out of nothing. As such these positions were chosen to represent what we should need now.
Champion: The office of Champion shall be responsible for coordinating tasks between each office of the Board of Directors, assisting HSL membership in membership-related tasks, and enforcing the bylaws. This office may be occupied by multiple officers, the total of which may not exceed two. Each officer will receive a full vote on the Board of Directors.
Treasurer: The office of Treasurer shall be responsible for managing financial assets and liabilities and collecting membership dues, donations, and other revenue.
Secretary: The office of Secretary shall be responsible for recording the proceedings of HeatSync Lab functions, such as events, fundraiser, and other official activities. Additionally, the office of the Secretary shall be responsible for the oversight of all records and papers produced in HSL's operations.
Operations: The Office of Operations shall be responsible for the oversight of HSL operations and delegation of operational tasks to HSL volunteers.
