Committees

Bylaws Committee

The bylaws committee is a group of people who have an interest in reviewing Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism’s Bylaws annually.  Should changes be required, we ask that the committee present the changes to the SSM Board a minimum of 3 months prior to the Annual Meeting.  They are then forwarded for approval to the AGM. Typically, a commitment of 2 meetings per year are required.


Executive  Committee

The executive committee includes the President, Past President, 1st & 2nd Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.  This committee meets before each board meeting and takes care of many of the house keeping duties for the SSM.


Finance Committee

Are you a stickler for details?  Do you want to help use funding in the most efficient way to deliver programs for seniors?  This committee may be for you!!

This Finance Committee is the financial watchdog of the SSM.  The people on this committee look over all the financial reports to make sure that money is being spent in the best possible way.  At the beginning of our year, they are responsible to put a budget together.  The budget is then brought to a board meeting for approval.  Before each Board Meeting, this committee will meet to look over all the finances and get a report ready to present at the meeting. This committee will meet approximately 9 times a year.


Nominating Committee

Led by the past president each year, this committee is responsible to find individuals for the executive positions on the SSM Board.  The positions include: President, 1st and 2nd Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.  This committee must make sure that each member organization receives a nomination form at least two Board Meetings before the Annual Meeting so they will all have time to put forward the names their organization would like to see in each position.  The committee looks over all the nomination forms. After deciding who they feel would be best for each position, the committee must then ask the person if they are willing to take that position, if they are voted in. These names are brought before the SSM Board to see if they also agree with the choices.  The final step is to present the names at the Annual Meeting and/or Board Meeting following the Annual Meeting.  Typically this committe only meets prior to the AGM.
