Officer Information for OceanS.A.F.E.

Hello Everyone, we have selected some of our officers...Kandice Garibay will serve as our Volunteer Coordinator and Robby Gross will be our Social Coordinator. We are still in need of a treasurer and an Outreach Coordinator. Please see below for descriptions of the needed officers:

III. Treasurer: The treasurer will be responsible for all financial aspects of the group. This includes obtaining funding, collection and turning in of dues, and keeping track of all expenses and filling out necessary paperwork for the group. There is also an orientation required for the treasurer to go through to understand all responsibilities of the org. Sources of funding include: Senate of College Councils(SSB 4.204) or call 471-3166.
IV. Outreach Coordinator: This person is responsible for bringing outreach ideas to the organization at our first of the month meetings. This person can choose to do their own research to gather ideas or solicit them from members of the org. The latter is considered the best idea. The OC will present a list of ideas at our first of the month meeting explaining ways in which we can support each of these and then the group will vote. It is imperative that whichever ideas are brought up have enough background for the group to understand how and if we can help.

Those of you who are interested in these positions, please email me and let me know: oceanadventurer@mail.utexas.edu


If you want to pursue one of these positions, you have to plan on attending the meetings because that is when we will be discussing the options of the group. Robby suggested a co-chair option as well, which I think would be a great idea. So if there are multiple people interested in the positions, let me know and you both can head up that part and it would also make it more productive, I think. That being said, I am posting the other two positions below; if someone is interested in joining either one of these committees, let me know as well.

V. Volunteer Coordinator: This person is responsible for finding local/statewide sources of volunteer activities for the group. We will be participating in one volunteer activity at the end of each month. This person should research or solicit ideas for the group to participate in and coordinate date/time for the event to take place. It should be something relating to water in some way or rehabilitation of wildlife. These ideas should also be brought up at the first of the month meetings and no later than the second meeting of the month. This person is also responsible for coordinating with the staff of the volunteer location to let them know we are coming and want to participate.
VI. Social Coordinator: This person is responsible for our parties and will work closely with the volunteer coordinator. Parties or social gatherings should take place after the volunteer activity has been done and should be conducted in a safe manner for everyone. These can consist of anything form pool parties, IMAX movies, dinners, bowling, putt-putt…this is a way for the organization to be rewarded for doing outreach/volunteering activities and also to get to know one another better.

Information for current officers is as follows:

President: April Idlett; oceanadventurer@mail.utexas.edu
Vice President/Volunteer Coordinator: Kandice Garibay; kandice_1113@yahoo.com
Social Coordinator: Robby Gross; robbygross@hotmail.com

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Next Monday we will be discussing our outreach project, volunteer event and our first social outing. See you then. ~AMI
