WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Derbyshire DA are a relatively young committee, that are innovative, bold and not afraid to try new things to make camping with us a great experience for its members, at the same time making it as efficient as possible for the committee given pressures and constraints in life. 

 

It's that time of the year where we need to recruit volunteers to join our committee to enable the DA to continue to grow from strength to strength. We have our AGM coming up and we have some roles that becoming available that need to be filled.

 

As i'm sure you can appreciate that all the great ideas for sites, communication, booking, entertainment, where to invest etc, don't just come from thin air, they come from members like you that would like to give something back in a rewarding way. A committee, its ideas and enthuiasium to do more for its members are only as good as the members that make it up!

​

Have a read at the descriptions below from our retiring/changing role committee members to find out more.

Honorary Secretary

Derbyshire DA are looking for a new committee member to take over the Honorary Secretary duties from the 2022 AGM in March. The primary duties involve:

 

 

  • In consultation with the Chairman and other officers prepare meeting agendas, produce and issue the minutes.

  • Maintain a correspondence log and circulate incoming correspondence to the relevant committee members for information/action.  The majority of correspondence is via the Secretaries DA Email account which is then either forwarded, archived or put on the agenda for the next committee meeting. 

​

Some computer skills are required to operate the Secretary Email account and a word processor to produce the agenda and meeting minutes. Examples of documents, details of all the voluntary officers duties along with guidelines for the day to day running of a District Association are contained in the Voluntary Officers Manual [see section 3].

​

Very few documents are prepared from scratch as most things have been done before and and they can be used as a copy and paste template.  Julie our retiring secretary will provide a detailed handover and our NCR Secretary is always there to help especially if anything unusual crops up.  If interested or require more info please contact Julie via email at: secretary@derbyshireda.com.
