The executive committee consists of a group of volunteers trying their best to ensure that all members continue to receive quality services at their community pool. You will find below a description of each of the executive committee roles. No previous experience is required, only a willingness to help the Elm Park community and to make our pool season a great experience for all our members, young and old.

Le comité exécutif est composé d'un groupe de volontaires qui font de leur mieux pour s'assurer que tous les membres reçoivent des services de qualité à leur piscine communautaire. Les membres du comité sont à votre disposition si vous pensez pouvoir aider d'une façon ou d'une autre.

Your 2008 EPRA Executive Committee Votre Comité Exécutif pour AREP pour 2008
President / Président
Steve Batah Tel: 514-620-2600 president@elmparkpool.com		The president's primary role on the executive is to coordinate the actions of the various volunteers and staff. Our pool season is really only 11 weeks long and most of the president's work comes in the other 41 weeks of the year working with the committee to hire the next season's staff and then to coordinate with the volunteers both on the committee and otherwise and the staff to ensure all of our programs are delivered when expected. The president also must organize the once-per-year Annual General Meeting and ensure that the reports from the various committee members are presented at that time.
Vice President / vice-président
Position Vacant Tel: Email:		He or she is only a 'heartbeat away' from the presidency but the role of the vice-president is to assist the president wherever needed. As volunteers, no one person should have to manage alone and the vice-president often takes on projects during the year. A vice-president is sometimes learning how the pool functions in order to take over as president one day.
Secretary - Secrétaire
Johanne Boisvert Tel: 514-620-9249 Email: jbmain@videotron.ca		The Secretary's role is to maintain records of the various decisions taken during the year either at committee meetings or at the Annual General Meeting and to present those minutes when required at future meetings. While not a labour intensive position, the secretary's role is vital in an organization made up of part-time volunteers and seasonal staff. Our secretary is our 'corporate memory'.
Treasurer - Trésorier
Jorge Vieira de Matos Tel: 514-626-9017 Email: jdematos@videotron.ca		Someone has to keep track of the money. Our association is not a profit-making venture but during our 11 week season, a lot goes on that either brings in funds or pays them out. The treasurer's main responsibilty is to ensure the financial viability of the pool. This requires working with the committee on the annual budget and then tracking money in and out of our bank accounts. Registration time and pool startup time is, of course a busy time for the treasurer who must make regular bank deposits of the membership revenues we collect. As soon as the season is complete, the treasurer must work with an accountant to complete the year's financial report in order to present it to the members at the Annual General Meeting in the fall.
Membership Director - Directrice des membres
Marie Habib Tel: 514-62404471 Email: membership@elmparkpool.com		The Membership Director is responsible for, (what else?), the membership. Most of the membership director's work happens in the pre-season, preparing whatever marketing the pool will do and ensuring that as many returning and new members will register as possible.
Maintenance Director/Directeur d'Entretien
Steve Smith Tel: 696-2913 Email: eblair@total.net		The Maintenance Director is responsible for ensuring that 400,000 gallons of water are actually fit to swim in. From a few weeks before the pool opens until a couple of weeks after the pool closes, the maintenance director coordinates different member-volunteers and the pool staff to prepare the pump facility, the physical building and the various mechanical aspects of our pool to ensure that it is in great shape for our short summer season. The maintenance director also coordinates activities between the city and our regular contractors to effect work and pool improvements both during and after our regular season.
Pool Director - Directeur du staff
Diana Carr Tel: 514-695-5637 Email: dianacarr@lbpsb.qc.ca		The Pool Director is the membership's liason to our summer staff. Our staff is made up each year of young lifeguards who have met some stringent training requirements from the Royal Lifesaving and elsewhere but who may not have had much work experience otherwise. The Pool Director is the staff mentor, working with them to review programs, deal with human resources issues and to represent the staff to the executive committee. The Pool Director also helps organize volunteers for the different competitive programs that Elm Park is involved in. Usually this person has either been involved with lifeguards by being one themselves as a teenager or as a parent involved with the swimming community all winter.
Food and Beverage Director - Directeur de Nouriture
Lia Constantopoulos Tel: Email:		The Food and Beverage Director is responsible for coordinating all food service including our Oasis snack counter and any fund raising that includes food. For the Oasis this means coordinating many volunteers including BBQr's and shoppers and servers for whenever the snack bar is open.
Social Director - Directeur Social
Caroline Larocque Tel: 514-696-6453 Email: bungycat@hotmail.com		The Social Director is responsible for our Elm Park extra-curricular life. If there are parties, evening events, trips or other events outside of the programs, they will fall under the control of the Social Director. This role includes marshalling the creative forces of the members and working with volunteers to put these events on. The Social Director is all about participation so if you have an idea for a social event, be sure to let them know!
