A Message from the HOBC Executive Board

The Hillgrove Orchestra Booster Club is pleased to extend a warm welcome to you as we look forward to the 2008-2009 school year. We are very excited about the strides we’ve made in only two years but we are still a ‘work in progress’ and need your help to become an even better support organization for our orchestra students .
If you are a current booster club member or will be joining as your student enters high school in the 2008-2009 school year we need your help. The current board has served for two years and according to the by-laws we must elect new officers. Elections will be held at our first meeting in August.
Both Mr. Doke and the current board believe the transition can be best achieved by electing junior co-officers for each board position to work alongside the current members (senior co-officers) for one year. The following year new junior co-officers will then be elected. By having elections for the junior co-officer positions yearly the board will always have seasoned officers (senior co-officers) in place to train the new board. This being our first year under the new system, the senior co-officers will be nominated by the Orchestra director. The board positions include the following:
Senior Co-President –
Junior Co-President – new nominee (2 year term)
Senior Co-Vice President –
Junior Co-Vice President – new nominee (2 year term)
Senior Co-Secretary –
Junior Co-Secretary – new nominee (2 year term)
Senior Co-Treasurer –
Junior Co-Treasurer – new nominee (2 year term)
We will also need to fill other non-board positions, which we are recommending also to be co-chaired for the first year to ease the burden on any one person, as follows:
Co-Membership chair
Co-Fundraising chair
On average, the board meets four times during the school year, in addition to attending the booster club general meetings. The board works closely with Mr. Doke to plan the orchestra activities for the school year and to make decisions regarding policy and procedure. More detailed information about the booster club (mission statement, goals, etc.) is attached for ease of reference.
If you are interested in joining the leadership team to share in the growth and development of the orchestra program, please contact us at hobc@bellsouth.net or call Eric Wright (Co-President) at 770-490-6641. We look forward to hearing from you. More information about HOBC is available under the “pages” section in the right column of this blog under HOBC.
Sincerely,
HOBC Orchestra Board Members
