AGM Nominations

As previously communicated at the 2024 AGM, Red Deer Minor Baseball has moved to a system for early board of director nominations.  This system is more consistent with other organizations across Canada and provides several benefits:

• Informed Decision-Making: Members will have ample time to review candidates’ qualifications, backgrounds, and contributions, leading to more informed voting.
• Enhanced Transparency: Early nominations promote transparency in the selection process, building trust among members.
• Encouraged Participation: Advance notice can lead to increased member engagement and discussion regarding the nominees, fostering a sense of involvement in the governance process.
• Improved Planning: RDMBA can better prepare for the AGM, ensuring that all logistical aspects, such as presentations and discussions about the nominees, are well-organized.
• Attracting Quality Candidates: A clear nomination timeline can attract more qualified candidates who may appreciate a structured process.
• Strategic Alignment: Early nominations give the board time to align its strategy with the skills and perspectives of the incoming members, ensuring they are well-suited to address current and future challenges.

As per RDMBA’s current bylaws, a nominations committee has been formed to help solicit nominations and vet candidates who would like to be considered, while keeping the above benefits in mind.  

An email, along with social media postings, will be communicated in forthcoming weeks outlining the nomination process.   If you, or someone you know, is interested in volunteering on the RDMBA Board of Directors and being a part of helping baseball grow and flourish in Red Deer, please consider this opportunity.   

Available positions and job descriptions will be communicated in mid-October.  Nominations will be open at this time.  

Please submit your nomination as early as possible, and ideally no later than December 1, 2024.
