Justification for change:
Many of the current duties outlined for this position in the By Laws are better suited to assignment for paid staff and other executive members. This would allow for continuity of the duties which in many ways go well beyond what can be expected of a volunteer. The new proposed position would maintain the voting balance of the board and create a position that would bridge the one year term for divisional coordinators when it comes to running our annual tournaments and jamborees across all divisions. This positions duties would also include be on the events committee for any AAA, Atlantic or Provincial tournaments and events which we may be involved in hosting as an association.
Motion was discussed and reviewed for submittal to the AGM agenda at the June 4th executive meeting
