TAMESIDE
GLOSSOP
THE BRANCH COMMITTEE
Most of the volunteers involved in running the Tameside & Glossop Branch are members of the Committee and are Trustees of the Branch. Trustees are responsible for decision making on Branch policy and ensuring the Branch achieves its aims and objectives. The Committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting usually held in June.
BRANCH CHAIRPERSON - Controls the order of meetings and ensures that every decision is taken in a democratic and proper fashion.
BRANCH SECRETARY - Receives information, passes this on to fellow Trustees. Replies to correspondence and undertakes other secretarial duties.
BRANCH TREASURER - Keeps accurate and up to date records of all monies received and bills paid. Issue receipts, bank cash, deals with auditors etc. Reports to fellow trustees and keeps an eye on investments.
Currently the branch has a Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer but we still need help for various positions on the Committee.
MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY - The post involves receiving notification from Headquarters of all local people joining the RSPCA, informing fellow trustees of new members and holding a card index system of names and addresses. The secretary contacts new members accepted into the branch to welcome them and to invite them to become involved in branch activities.
NEWSLETTER PUBLICATION - This involves helping to put the quarterly newsletter together. Desktop Publishing skills are an advantage, or you could volunteer to help with collating mail and filling the envelopes.
