Materials for our upcoming board meeting on October 3rd (11am to 1pm Central time)
by Fenton Litwiller 25 Sep '23

25 Sep '23

Hi everyone, As a board, we will meet three times per year, with one of these days a full day, as well attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of CALS (to be held in June, date and time TBD). See attached for an agenda of our upcoming virtual board meeting on October 3rd, 11am to 1pm Central Time. Note that the zoom link has been distributed (please accept the calendar invite and let me know if you did not receive it). I am also attaching two other documents related to decisions that we need to make at our upcoming meeting. Read these over prior to our meeting because I will be asking you for your input and then for your vote. I have reread the minutes from the previous board (2020 to 2023) as well as the attached membership priority survey (Vinu Best practices presentation to CALS May 6 2019.pdf). Priorities for the membership at this time included making the CALS website more usable (e.g., being able to purchase memberships online, having tabs for events, calls for papers, and past conferences, integrated social media), developing a mission statement, and a desire to work with other organizations. These priorities can guide our decision making. At our meeting, we need to: 1) Decide which subcommittees to create/sustain and who will sit on each (each director to typically sits on at least one subcommittee) 2) Decide if we hire an RA to work on the website ($14, 000 or other amount?) 3) Decide if our May day-long board meeting is person or virtual 4) Decide if we purchase nonprofit board member insurance 5) Decide on finance training for nonprofit board members 6) Give feedback on a statement of CALS research support 7) Feedback on ‘our story’, related to the mission statement More details related to the above decisions and tasks are in the attached documents. See you soon, Fenton -- Dr. Fenton Litwiller (they/them/theirs) President, Canadian Association for Leisure Studies (CALS) Associate Professor Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management | University of Manitoba 123 Frank Kennedy Centre | Winnipeg MB | R3T 2N2 204.474.8412 fenton.litwiller(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:fentonl@umanitoba.ca> [signature_2837124687] The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation.

23 Aug '23

Hi folks Thank you for your work to ‘save the date’ in preparation for our board meetings. We are a large and national group of people, and it can be really difficult to find time to gather together. Here are the dates and times for our upcoming board meetings: October 3 (11am to 1pm Central time, virtual, zoom link to follow) March 4th (9am to 11am Central time, virtual, zoom link to follow) Annual board meeting, May 15th (9am to 5pm; Winnipeg, MB) Onboarding note: The CALS board does not currently have specific onboarding materials or a collection of board-related files in a single location (or a web-based location to store and share files), and this is one of the tasks I am working on. For now, please review the CALS website: https://canadianleisurestudies.ca/, and read over the minutes from the last three years as well as the most current bylaws (all attached). In September, I would like to meet with each one of you for 15 to 30 minutes to welcome you to the board and get to know you. In preparation for this meeting, read over the attached materials and think about the following questions: Tell me a bit about yourself! What would you like to get out of your time on the board in the next three years? What skills, connections, resources, and expertise do you have to offer the board? Do you have any questions or concerns about your role on the board? What two or three things would you like to see the board accomplish in the next three years? What opportunities do you see for the board? What challenges do you see for the board? Please select a time slot from the following link that works for you to meet and send me a zoom or teams link for this time: [?xlsx icon] Book.xlsx<https://umanitoba-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/fenton_litwiller_umanito…> Thank you, that is all for now, Fenton President: Fenton Litwiller (University of Manitoba) Treasurer: Dan Henhawk (University of Manitoba) Secretary: Kimberly Lopez (University of Waterloo) Past President: Dawn Trussell (Brock University) Director - Graduate Student: Giana Tomas (University of Waterloo) Director - Graduate Student: Christine Ausman (Dalhousie University) Director - Graduate Student: Monir Shahzeidi (University of British Columbia) Director: Richard Norman (Toronto Metropolitan University) Director: Audrey Giles (University of Ottawa) Director: Colleen Reid (Douglas College) Director: Élisabeth Beaunoyer (Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières) Director: Shintaro Kono (University of Alberta) Director: Simon Barrick (Cape Breton University) Director: Kyle Rich (Brock University) Ex-Officio (non voting): Rebecca Genoe (Editor, Leisure/Loisir) -- Dr. Fenton Litwiller (they/them/theirs) Associate Professor Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management | University of Manitoba 123 Frank Kennedy Centre | Winnipeg MB | R3T 2N2 204.474.8412 fenton.litwiller(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:fentonl@umanitoba.ca> [signature_2837124687] The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation.
