Directors serve to represent the SDASCOE members by voting on issues that come before the
association. Directors are one of the links between the membership and the SDASCOE board.
Directors are elected to a two year term by the membership of their districts. The elections are
generally held in March. Members volunteer to have their names on the election ballots. The
person receiving the most votes is elected Director. The person receiving the second most votes
will serve as the Alternate Director.
Directors attend the Spring and Fall SDASCOE Board meetings. The board also has a meeting
at the State Convention. The Spring board meeting is generally held in Huron as time is set on
the agenda to meet with the State Director and State Committee (the SDASE and SDACS
organization board members are also invited for that portion of the meeting). The Fall Board
meeting is held at the site of the next years state convention. Both of these are overnight
meetings, generally starting at 7:00 pm the first day and ending approximately noon the second
day. When held during the week directors must take annual leave. The SED, as requested by
the SDASCOE President, usually approves some Administrative Leave to attend the Spring
Board meeting to meet with the SED and State Committee.
Alternate Directors are invited to attend the Fall and State Convention board meetings. They
attend the Spring board meeting in place of their District Director if he/she is unable to attend.
When certain issues arise the Officers may decide to have a special meeting or a conference call.
Duties of the Directors include:
- Obtain information and questions from their district members prior to the board meetings.
The President requests items for the agenda and that agenda is sent out prior to the spring and
fall board meetings.
- Attend the Spring, Fall and SDASCOE Convention board meetings.
- Discuss and vote on issues at the board meetings. All board members present discuss the
issues
Only directors and officers are eligible to make motions and to vote.
- Report to their district members, in a timely manner, the highlights of the meetings and
SDASCOE convention.
- Respond to the SDASCOE President when information is requested.
- Throughout the year the Officers and Committee Chairs may send directors information
affecting SDASCOE and its members. In turn, each director is to forward that information to
the members in their districts in a timely manner.
- Keep in touch with the members of your district throughout the year. Encourage them to
keep you informed of any questions or issues they may have.
- Keep the President and Vice President informed of any areas of concern from the membership.
- Be aware of the correct uses of government time and equipment regarding SDASCOE and
what
issues may or may not be discussed using government equipment (available on the NASCOE
website)
Reimbursement for attending these meetings is in accordance with the current SDASCOE Travel
policy (available on the SDASCOE website).
Serving as a SDASCOE Director should be considered an honor as well as a responsibility.
