Magazine Overview
This document is the first issue of "NYHETER FRÅN UFO-SVERIGE" (News from UFO-Sweden) for 2018. It serves as a newsletter for the Swedish UFO organization, providing updates on its activities, publications, and calls for member engagement. The issue covers organizational matters, recent UFO news, and information on how to stay connected with the organization.
Organizational Matters
Call for Engaged Members
The organization is actively seeking new members to take on various roles within UFO-Sverige. These positions include ordinary board members, deputies, auditors, and auditors' deputies, as well as members for the election committee. The elections for these roles will take place at the Riksstämma (National Meeting) in May 2018, and will cover the working year 2018/19. Interested individuals are encouraged to express their interest or nominate candidates to the election committee, headed by Christoffer Mossberg. Contact details and a link to an online form are provided.
Board and Auditor Roles
The board typically consists of 10-15 ordinary members and several deputies. Board meetings are held about 5-6 times a year in various locations, potentially involving travel. Ordinary board members are expected to be proactive and dedicate time outside of meetings. Deputies attend all meetings but do not have specific responsibilities. Auditors are responsible for reviewing the organization's accounts and the board's management. The statutes require two auditors and two deputy auditors. The election committee is tasked with impartially identifying suitable candidates for these positions.
Election Timeline
Ordinary board members are usually elected for two-year terms, with approximately half the board being elected each year to ensure continuity. Other positions are elected annually. The working year for these roles is the period between two Riksstämmor. The upcoming Riksstämma will elect those who will serve during 2018/19. Members are urged to contact the election committee by March 24th.
Upcoming Board Meeting
The first board meeting of the year is scheduled for Saturday, February 3rd, at 13:00 in Töreboda.
