Skate Canada Club # 1000484
All Skate Canada Clubs operate under a Club Constitution. A Club Constitution provides the pathway for a smooth operating
club, and gives guidance to the Club's Board of Directors in their management of the Club, and informs all the members of their
rights and obligations.
The Club's Board of Directors consists of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and 2-3 Directors at Large
(previously held board position) and any of the following positions: Test Chair, Competition Chair, Registration Chair or
Carnival Chair. Sub-committee Board members positions: Fundraising Chair, Events/Social Coordinator, Costume Coordinator,
Music Coordinator, Publicity/Promotional/Advertising Coordinator, Club Photographer and WebMaster.
The complete Cobourg FSC Club Constitution is reviewed at each AGM and is posted on the Club
Bulletin Board. A copy is always available for any member to review at any time.
Skate Canada's Constitution is available on their website under Members Only, but a copy can be available upon request.
