Your club needs you!

Your club is again reaching out to the membership and asking for anyone who is interested in becoming chairperson.

For the ‘job spec’ please see below.

The role itself is not overly involved.  A ‘normal’ week for the chairperson (pre-COVID) is: The Week@ on social media on a Sunday, then imparting most of that on Tuesday at the club and then it’s just anything else that may come up!  You would host the annual Awards Evening and AGM, and chair the committee meetings once every 5 weeks or so dealing with any allocated actions that might arise out of it.  Largely however, it is really about being a good people person and communicator.  The committee is super supportive of each other and there to willingly share the load.

By joining the committee as the chairperson, you are making yourself available to give your fellow club members a voice, providing leadership, and supporting the club in its direction and decision making to ensure that the club can run effectively for the good of the membership, regardless of circumstance.

Please consider stepping up and being our new Chairperson.  If you wish to express an interest in this role please speak to one of the committee members (see below) or email: info@horshamjoggers.co.uk
