Attention: Delegates and Member Teams!
Delegates: Did you know you are the lifeline between your team and the MRA?
Member Teams: Do you know and support your MRA delegate?
The MRA board of directors is made up of the MRA officers and one delegate from each team. Any team member is encouraged to attend the business meetings; however, each full member team gets one vote: the team’s delegate vote.
The delegate’s primary responsibility is back and forth communication; the secondary responsibility is facilitating and assuring that responsibilities are being completed. Delegates for full member teams have a voice and voting responsibility. Associate and ex-officio delegates do not have a vote, but do have a voice in all MRA matters.
Some of the delegate’s responsibilities include:
1. Representing his/her team as a delegate voice and voting on all MRA business matters at the MRA business meetings
2. Being on the MRA general lister
3. Attendance (in person or by proxy) at the spring and winter business meetings
4. Communicating MRA information to the delegate’s team:
A. The MRA schedule
B. Conference information
C. MRA issues
D. General MRA lister information as it applies to the delegate’s team
5. Ensuring that all team members are on the MRA admin lister and receiving MRA critical information (Meridian, conference updates, critical communications, etc.)
6. Ensuring the MRA dues packet, contact information, and team profile are being processed correctly and on time by the responsible team member(s)
7. Ensuring the MRA statistics are being filed for each year in February by the responsible team member
8. Ensuring all team members have access to the MRA website and have the current password
9. Reviewing the MRA minutes and the report package and disseminating critical information to the delegate’s team
10. Promoting the MRA to the delegate’s team
11. Promoting the Meridian newsletter and periodically providing articles as suitable
12. Participation in committees as applicable
Delegates: Thank you for your valued service!
Member Teams: Thank you for supporting your delegate!
