Elections/Selection Announcement and Nominations: Before the election meeting, the club makes an official announcement to all members about the upcoming election. During this time, members are encouraged to nominate themselves or others for various positions such as President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and other executive roles. Candidate Introductions: On the day of the election meeting, all the candidates who have been nominated or have volunteered themselves are given an opportunity to introduce themselves to the members. Each candidate can briefly share their background, experience, and their vision for the club if elected. Q&A Session: After the candidate introductions, there may be a question-and-answer session where members can ask candidates questions about their plans, ideas, or their qualifications. This allows members to make informed decisions when casting their votes. Secret Ballot Voting: To maintain anonymity and ensure a fair voting process, the club uses a secret ballot system. Ballots are distributed to all eligible members, and each member privately marks their choices for each position.
Meetings Meeting Frequency: The club holds meetings once a week, giving members regular opportunities to gather, learn, and engage with different aspects of automotive mechanics. Agenda Format: Welcome and Announcements: The meeting starts with a warm welcome to all attendees, followed by any club-related announcements, upcoming events, or important updates. Educational Presentation: Each week's meeting focuses on a specific section of the car, such as the steering or suspension system. A well-prepared slideshow is presented to guide members through the topic, providing in-depth information about its components, functions, and maintenance tips. Visual aids like diagrams, images, and videos may be used to enhance understanding. Guest Speaker Sessions: Occasionally, the club invites guest speakers who are experts in the field of automotive mechanics. These speakers may include professional mechanics, engineers, or industry specialists. Their talks can offer valuable insights, real-world experiences, and the latest trends in the automotive industry. Q&A and Discussions: After the presentation or guest speaker session, a Q&A and open discussion period allows members to ask questions, seek clarifications, or share their thoughts on the topic. This interactive exchange of ideas fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Member Spotlights: To encourage active participation and engagement, the club can feature member spotlights during some meetings. Members can showcase their own automotive projects, share interesting car-related stories, or demonstrate their DIY repairs. Networking and Socializing: After the formal part of the meeting, members can take some time to socialize, network, and build connections with fellow car enthusiasts. This fosters a sense of community and camaraderie within the club. Future Topic Suggestions: Towards the end of each meeting, the club can encourage members to suggest topics they would like to learn about in future meetings. This ensures that the club's educational content remains relevant to the interests and needs of its members.
