Chers membres de l�ACERS,

 

Cette note renferme quelques amendements simples mais importants � la constitution de l�ACERS. Ces amendements seront vot�s � la r�union g�n�rale annuelle de l�ACERS 2003 � Vancouver, le samedi 18 octobre 2003.

 

L�ACERS a b�n�fici� de succ�s constants ces derni�res ann�es et promet de faire toujours mieux dans le futur. Parall�lement � ces succ�s, la charge de travail continue d�augmenter en terme de quantit� et de diversit�. Pour soutenir ces succ�s, il est sugg�r� que quelques changements � la structure du syst�me de gestion de l�ACERS soient apport�s : la cr�ation d�un secr�tariat permanent, dirig� par un secr�taire ex�cutif qui appuierait le conseil d�administration.

 

En r�sum�, les amendements propos�s permettront d��tablir, de fa�on formelle, un secr�tariat permanent et de remplacer le pr�sent secr�taire �lu par un secr�taire ex�cutif nomm� par le Pr�sident et approuv� par le conseil d�administration. Le Secr�taire ex�cutif formerait un secr�tariat permanent situ� � Ottawa, pour agir en tant que bureau de direction de l�Association, g�rant les affaires courantes sous la supervision du pr�sident. Il y aura d�autres changements � discuter, mais ceux-ci le seront tout au long de l�ann�e dans le cours normal des activit�s de l�Association.
