Alumni Policy

1. General

The Corporation relies upon the committed service of volunteers and compensated staff. It is appropriate that length of service is recognized within the organization.

2. Board Members

Board members shall be recognized at the time of their retirement from the Board and (if applicable) during their Board service at five year intervals.

If a board member shall not be seeking re-election or shall fail to be re-elected to the Board or shall otherwise retire from service before the completion of their term they will receive:

· A certificate of appreciation where the length of service is less than one year
· An engraved pink triangle trophy where the length of service is between one year and five years
· An large engraved trophy where the length of service is five years or longer

The Board may, by 2/3 vote decline to issue a certificate or trophy where in the opinion of the Board the outgoing Board member has resigned and engendered an atmosphere of unnecessary acrimony.

A board member who shall receive a certificate and/or trophy as provided for above shall be a member of the Alumni Association and shall, upon request, qualify for VIP privileges at the event.

3. Volunteers

Every year each event production sub-committee may supply up to three names, the Executive Committee (consulting with the Volunteer Coordinator and other staff) may supply up to ten names, of volunteers for recognition via certificate of appreciation at the Volunteer recognition party. In addition, each volunteer will receive a special pin. In addition to that, each event production sub-committee may supply an alumni list of volunteers to the corporation and volunteers shall receive a special engraved bronze star after three years of service, a silver pin after 5 years of service, an engraved trophy after ten years of service and a platinum colored engraved award after 15 years of service.

The volunteer aspects of this policy shall commence on June 25, 2001 and volunteers who volunteer for the 2001 event shall qualify. Calculation of length of service shall be retroactive.

4. Staff

Staff shall receive a special engraved bronze star after three years of service, a silver pin after 5 years of service, an engraved trophy after ten years of service and a platinum colored engraved award after 15 years of service.
