We want you.....in fact we NEED you!!! As you might have heard, over the past couple of years our committee numbers have been dropping faster than an Italian soccer player at the World Cup. We're now down to just a few able bodies.....and Elaine. Now that's no dis on Elaine, she's the brains to this operation. But we do need help more now than we've ever needed it before.
We're still sans a Secretary after the incredible Danielle Senyschyn stepped down in December, plus we're on the lookout for a couple of General Committee members. Hell I can even shuffle over my nomination if you're super keen on being President.
I know there might be some of you out there thinking 'i've done by bit in the past' and that may very well be true, but the pool of people wanting to get involved (not just here but in all sports) is pretty damn shallow these days, so if you've got just the tiniest bit more to give, we'd appreciate it so much.
You might never have been on a committee before and be thinking 'I can't do that'. I'm here to assure you, YES YOU CAN. I nominated for President on the spur of the moment some 8 years ago (probably to the chagrin of Elaine), but look at me know, i'm almost 70% useful 😃
Even if you don't have 100% to commit, we have other roles we need filling as well (which you would have received an email about), and every little bit makes our life easier.
Lastly if you've ever caught yourself thinking that MSA could be doing something differently or better....well here's your big chance to be a part of the change. Because nothing ever changed by doing nothing.
Literally the only requirement to become a fully fledged member of this retro posse of softball nerds is to be an MSA member (sadly not a permit member....although that will not prevent you from undertaking a sub committee role) in either our Winter Fastpitch or Summer Slowpitch competitions.
And if I haven't been obvious enough with regards to how desperate we are...we are as desperate as Carlton is for a win...as Peter Dutton is for eyebrows and even more desperate than a MAFS star trying to remain relevant. We need help.
Nomination forms can be downloaded here: https://melbournesoftball.org.au/about-us/about-us-2/governance-policies/executive-nomination-form/ and emailed to [email protected] or printed and brought in to the AGM on Sunday morning (9:30am).
Look forward to seeing you all there.
