The Monthly Howl!

November 2021 Edition

November is a time for saying thank you,  and on behalf of the board we want to thank you for the response to our last email.   We saw a significant update of renewals,  and a grand total of $3,200 in donations.  This allows SEA-PAH to continue to run and as we continue to cut costs and build a direction for the organization to work toward.   We cannot thank you, our membership, for your willingness to assist the organization in it's time of need. 

Also in response to letter to the membership, we have had several members interested in the two vacant board positions. We will be performing interviews soon and will be announcing the new board members prior to the Monthly Board Meeting.

This month also kicks off our annual board election process. Please continue reading for full details on how and why this is important to each and every member.

Information is frequently updated on the SEA-PAH website, so make sure you visit regularly! Don't miss out on any of the wagtastic fun, be sure to check out all of our events on the events page and committee meetings on the meetings page.

Audit Committee

Information and details available here


Policies and Procedures Committee

There were a great many advisory votes made during the AGM in January and with the results in mind, the Board will be working on updating the policies and procedures of SEA-PAH. This will include proposing updates to the bylaws, codifying the standing rules, and other tasks related to the day to day operations of the organization. Why should you care, you're asking?  Because:

WE WANT YOU!  That's right!  We want members of the organization to come together with us and advise, help draft, and fine tune the language that will be submitted to the community for updates to our systems.  If you're interested in joining this committee, we ask that you email: bylaws@seapah.com and we will be in touch to schedule.  The first meeting of the Policies and Procedures Committee will take place in March, keep your ears perked in next month's HOWL for dates!
