Late in 2021 I let it be known that I would like to retire from my position as leader of the Property Team. A replacement has yet to be found. About a year or so ago I was asked to put together a listing of the various duties for the Property Team to serve as guidance for the next team leader. Over the years I have tried to characterize what the team does, but not in the detail needed to shed meaningful light on the nature and scope of things. I sent the first detailed task description to council in May 2022 and I have just updated the document which is attached with my report to Tidings this time around. Read Here.
I know it is not a particularly effective tool to recruit a replacement because it certainly has the potential to discourage potential candidates. There is a lot to take care of for sure, and these days our numbers force us to let some things slide. We have some wonderful and dedicated property volunteers, but I no longer have the time or energy to do all the things an effective team leader needs to be doing. It is time for a change. Perhaps one of you readers will be inspired to step forward with fresh insights and energy for the team.
