Important Team Business

Hello Hurricanes!
Thank you all for an amazing meet yesterday!  It was hot, humid, but thankfully cloudy and we made the day happen for all of our swimmers with a gigantic Marlins team. Happy Father's Day to all our amazing Hurricane Dads! Hope everyone is enjoying some relaxing family time today! And you can continue the relaxation with NO PRACTICE TOMORROW for Juneteeth, 6/19.

This is the time of the season where we need to begin to handle some team business. We need to start the process of Board member selection for our 2024 season. Every other year a different set of Board positions come up for election. In this odd year it is time for us to select a Vice President, Secretary, Meet Director, Circuit Representative, and Fundraiser. No other roles are currently being voluntarily vacated. At present, the awesome Sara Kinnison, our current Circuit Representative (and the Circuit Board President) is the only member that will definitely be leaving their post and stepping down after several years of service to the team. We all thank you for all you've done and the time you've shared in Board member service, we will do our best to find a suitable replacement. Every other member in the roles up for election are eligible to continue on the Board if there are no other candidates interested in filling the role. However, we must complete the process set in the By-laws and begin to elect new candidates or re-certify those already in their roles.

Each of these parents has done an amazing job this season and are more than deserving of our thanks and gratitude and I personally have enjoyed working with them very much. They've been dedicated and spent countless hours working toward the preparation for this swim season. These are the current roles and the members filling them including the amount of time spent in the last term (2yrs) of service:
Vice President: Amanda Black (2 years of service)
Secretary: Debbie Reeves (1 year of service)
Meet Director: Ben Black (1 year of service)
Circuit Representative: Sara Kinnison (2 years of service)
Fundraiser: Blaire Parker (2 years of service)

The first step in this process is to form a nominating committee. This committee consists of two parent members of the Hurricanes whose job it will be to organize nominations and speak with nominees and confirm willingness to serve and to help. Once this committee is formed, nominations for the selected positions will begin. Hurricane members may nominate themselves or someone else. After we have nominations for each position, elections will be held. Confirmation of these elections will be made at the End of Season Banquet which also serves as our team's annual business meeting. The current term of service ends August 31 and the new term begins September 1.

If you are interested in serving on the nominating committee please email me back at [email protected]. If you think that you might be interested in serving in one of these roles on the board please carefully consider it. Each of these roles takes both off season and in season dedication to the team. But the reward of being able to watch our kids compete is awesome!

Thank you all for all that you have done to make this season great so far. Your Board looks forward to finishing the season strong!
Start Strong, Finish Strong! Go 'Canes!
