“I wonder if I could do that?" – Joining the Regional Management Team

Are you interested in joining the Regional Management Team? On this page you can find out more about the RMT roles and how the election process works.

The Regional Management Team consists of 8 positions. Details of the current members of the Team can be found here.

Each person serves a 2 year term with a maximum of 3 terms (6 years in total). Rather than have the entire team appointed in one year, the appointments are staggered so that 4 roles come up for election in one year and then the other 4 in the following year, as follows:

 

To be appointed in odd years

To be appointed in even years

Team Co-ordinator

Education Co-ordinator

Communications Co-ordinator

Marketing Co-ordinator

Directors’ Co-ordinator

Events Co-ordinator

Finance Co-ordinator

Membership Co-ordinator

Terms run from 1st May to 30th April each year.

What experience do I need?

Regional Management Team positions are just the same as Chorus Team/Board positions – you just don't see everyone as often! Take a look at the following table to see chorus positions equivalent to RMT roles:

But bear in mind that you don't have to have served in the equivalent chorus position to apply for a Regional post. You may have acquired the necessary skills outside of Sweet Adelines, in your job for example. Applications are welcome from Chapter-at-Large members.

Regional appointment = appointed by RMT

International appointment = appointed by SAI on recommendation of RMT

Elected positions = voted for by directors/members if there is more than one candidate

 

References

We do take up references and the application form requires you to provide the names of 3 referees. These can be members of your chorus/quartet or friends who have experience of working with you, or they can be work referees – it doesn’t matter if they are inside or outside the world of Sweet Adelines!
