London - Number of Officers
If you agree with the statement, please tick the box Which national Officers do we really need and why (* = required by current AIVC Constitution)? (Consider whether each national officer job could be done in another way that is cheaper and just as effective?)
Below in red are the number of votes for each of the AIVC Committee Roles taken from the 18 responses collected at the London Gathering plus general response comments:
General Comments about changes to the AIVC Committee roles: "Perhaps Newslines should be merged into Nat Events on Committee, No News Officer" + Merge Publicityand Development and make a Regional responsibility "Merge" (Comment against News and Events) + "Regional structure" (Comment against Club Liaison, Publicity and Development) "Both - Regional Co-ordinator" (Comment against Club Liaison, Publicity and Development" "Any as you feel fit" (Comment against Events, Club Liaison, Publicity, Development and Webmaster) "I think a committee of 9 is reasonable for a national organisation. The more people you can spread the work around, the better. Also national committee is relatively inexpensive to run and worth every penny in my opinion" "Maybe merge these 3 to make 3 regional committee members" (Comment against Club Liaison, Publicity and Development) "Don't care" (Comment against Events, Club Liaison, Publicity, Development and Webmaster) + "As the comments - you all do a good job!" "Regional" (Comment against Publicity and Development) "Merge with News Officer" (Comment against Events) + "Regional" (Comment against Club Liaison) + "Merge" (Comment against Publicity and Development) "Combine" (Comment against Events and Club Liaison) + "Combine" (Comment against Publicity and Development) "One extra cttee member with responsibilities to be decided at each AGM" (Note: Treasurer not ticked!!) "Merge" (Comment agaist News and Events) + "Combine" (Comment against Publicity and Development) Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, News Officer "As there is a lot more in Nat Events magazine than Newslines perhaps Nat Events Organiser should be main Committee post with News Officer as optional" "We need all these posts with all fielding queries to the responsible officer" "All needed, reducing would cause unacceptable workload" "These are essential roles" "Not sure of role" (Referring to News Officer" National Events: "Do on regional basis" "We need all these posts with all fielding queries to the responsible officer" "Needed to promote inter-club events" "Combine roles" (with Club Liaison) "This could be done smoother eg put on Meetup & automatic retrieval of event s by AE & Agoria" Clubs Liaison: "We need all these posts with all fielding queries to the responsible officer" "Could be organised into 2 roles" "Good if this person can go around the club to visit clubs individually. Then members could something happening "on the gorund". Prob better to divide this role into a number of regional co-ordinators" "ALO in each region should be doing this role" "One per club and one per region" "Combine roles" (with National Events) "Essential - maybe combine with [National Events]" "What is the role of this officer?" National Development: "Do on regional basis" "Could be organised into 2 roles" "A regional responsibility. The whole of the UK too large an area for one Committee member to cover! Also what works in one area may not necessarilly work in another" "Merge roles" (Comment against Publicity and Development) "National Development and Publicity can go together. We need more marketing in the clubs and in AIVC" "The have regional development officers elected and then the clubs told about their development officer. I'm a member of Cambridge & didn't know Graham was our regional development officer". If regional development officers are elected - needs advertising well. Makes the members feel part of AIVC. Have National Devevelopment and Regional Development - no Publicity or Club Liaison. 8 members minimum" "Combine roles" (with National Publicity) "Overlap" (Referring also to Publicity)) National Publicity: "We need all these posts with all fielding queries to the responsible officer" "Could be organised into 2 roles" "Merge roles" (Comment against Publicity and Development) "Combine roles" (with National Development) "Overlap" (Referring also to Development) "Best done on a local basis" Webmaster:
"Further web site development needed" "Someone with good IT skills required" "Needed for ease of communication" "Essential to market the club" "Can this role be combined with one of above" "Essential - but still req 8 committee members - need diversive views" "If this is a voluntary job & site developed on a voluntary basis what happens if this person is run over by a bus?" Comments on opening up Committee Meetings into Regional Gatherings:
"Opening up Committee meetings to general membershipwould dilute the effectiveness of the meeting, so I am not in favour of it" "No thanks" + "4-6 meetings" "Good idea, but not go to committee meeting itself" "regional gatherings appar to give a greater coverage over all in a year in terms of representation of clubs. However the AGM needs to attract a minimum, at least, for quorum - so needs to be an attraction as well" "Good" "Suggest you do this if you have the business session first with just the Committee, then invite other members later in the dayeither to contribute their views and/or participate in an evening event" "A cost effective way of bringing more socialising opportunities and publicising AIVC" "Should be open for attendance by any member as an observer" "Good idea - go with the flow" "I am in favour of this" "I think this could be tried in Cambridge , Birmingham, major cities,Derby; be good to meet new friends" "Good idea" "OK - Bring local groups by ??????" Is this feasible?" "Cttee meetings should be open to club delegates such as Chair and ALO as a right" Comments on opening up Committee Meetings into Regional Weekends:
"Possibly" "Have regional workshop/meeting around AIVC Committee meeting to enable members to meet committee" "It would be good as a social option. The business could be confined to 1 day such that some delegates can come on just that day if they prefer" "Good" "Weekends would be more expensive to run as overnight accommodation would be involved" "Regional weekends probably not necessary, regional day gathering should be sufficient" "Ditto - York seems a very good idea & I may go though I live in the South" "Good idea - more friendly members attend" "Good idea - go with the majority" "I am in favour of this" "Think this would be tried too, same as Regional Gatherings" "Good idea" "Not Req." "AIVC Meetings must be held in the most efficient way especially if only 4-6 being held per annum. Regional gatherings could be less formal - maybe 4-6 clubs meeting at a convenient location for lunch/dinner to enable good club liaison" "This could not work" |
