Hi all, I still yet to receive any letter of confirmation of my EM appointment. I guess I am still an observer after all these months involvement in their activities since last Dec. May I know what do you all do as an EM? So far, I have almost joined in all their activities.

why not have a chat with the chairman? Afterall, he should be the one deciding who should be a EM.

EM usually holds position like chairman, vice-chair, treasurer, secretary etc. Think only 2-3 EM do not hold any position.

I believe there is also a limit to the number of EMs in each RC/NC. So if the older ones don't \"retire\", the new ones can't assume EM position.

My RC more new birds then old regular birds..trying to \"compete\" with new birds more tough.. Can anyone share what they do in RC, so that I can have an idea and try to \"please\" the old regular birds...

RC chairman is not approachable ... :shock:

Still for your child's sake ....

do have some proposal ready, eg suggestion for you to plan & organize a festival celebration, charity sales for the lower income in your area, etc Something that would make him or her look good and increase your contribution to the RC.

good luck !

Think there is some misconception about RC & NC.

The numbers of office bearers for both RC & NC are as follows:
(a) Chairman;
(b) Vice-Chairman (up to three);
(c) Secretary;
(d) Assistant Secretary (up to three);
(e) Treasurer;
(f) Assistant Treasurer (up to two); and
(g) Auditor (up to two).

The total number of executive committee members including office bearers should not be more than 30.

See http://www.pa.gov.sg/about-us/pa-act-and-other-constitutions.html for details.

The appointment of officer bearers and executive committee members is usually done by PA staff-in-staff (Assistant Constituency Manager) with recommendation from present RC/NC Chairman and Senior Constituency Manager.

The processes for the appointment of executive committee members are as follows:
(a) Screening process of background;
(b) Endorsement of application of advisor;
(c) Approval of application by PA HQ.

Thus, it is advisable to contact PA staff-in-staff (Assistant Constituency Manager) to found out the status of executive committee’s application. This is because RC/NC Chairman only submits executive committee’s application and it is PA staff-in-staff’s job to follow up.

As what does RC do? It actually depends on the direction set by RC/NC officer bearer. It can range from sleeping (1 star awarded) RC to 4 stars awarded RC/NC.

Don't give up. The letter may reach you in July, but it may be dated before 30 June! :xedfingers:

Thanks for yr blessing, Citigirl. I hope so.

Just curious... u still hanging on to the RC?

[New Kiasu Parent]

From 1 star RC to 4 Stars RC, any diffference in getting the letter for 2B? This morning, my Chairman told me I will receive my letter soon..some delay in process..However, he said my letter of appointment is dated June.. Finally, I can see some light... Can I be an \"active community leader\" just by attending monthly meetings only?
