The Member Relations Chair (formerly known as Activities) is responsible for recruiting and retaining members as well as motivating members to contribute to LANCE’s organizational mission and goals related to promoting an active, creative community. The Member Relations Chair is in charge of promoting a positive image for the company to our current members by creating content for the “members only” Facebook page and much more! As with all Committee Chair positions the Member Relations Chair is required to attend monthly Board of Governor meetings, as well as oversee their respective committee and act as liaison between their committee and the Board of Governors.
The Member Relations Chair also:
Currently our Member Relation Chair is Heather Walker; who states this position is “unique” to the board of governors in that it solely focuses on the members. Being the Member Relations Chair means working with the Board of Governors to determine cost effective member outing ideas and workshops, finding ways to internally market these events, working with the Documentarian ensuring event reports for the outings are properly completed, and reaching out to the community for new outing ideas! Heather feels that it is important for the Member Relations Chair to be prepared for events to not always go as planned. Her favorite part is “when an event comes together and you see everyone having fun and making new friendships, or when you come to training the next day or next weekend and those people are hanging out and you think to yourself ‘I was apart of that!’”

All nominations are welcomed, including nominations of Officers currently serving, and must be accepted by the nominee in order for them to be eligible for election.
