@Peaceworld, thanks
@teamgarri, you are funny

#teamgarri#:


na now u just dey know ni. that is how they behave i made metion of joining yet i was shunned.u too classy for this anyways.garriteam go embrace u.join us

If you wanted to join, there's a post on how to do dt somewhere up there. You just need to follow the steps outlined. Welcome.

@Peaceworld, hope you get it now?

There's one Board chaired by the President (or Chairperson)

Then there are committees carrying out day to day activities presided over by their directors (not the President). They hold their meetings themselves and are subject to the Board. If you appoint a leader to chair over these committees, you can call him Executive Director (what you thought I meant as President)

sunical:

There are always two arms. 1. An Executive Board headed by the President and 2. Different committees headed by Directors or Chairs

The Executive Board oversees these committees. You will not find where there's a Chairperson to check the President as Peaceworld puts it. The people to be checked are the Committees. The President is a member of the Board, serves them and is subject to them considerably.

Please, we are all young people. Let none of us claim expert in this. It helps taking a look at similar associations to find out how they've been running successfully and what leadership style worked for them.

The chairperson or chairman is an ordinary board member who 'chairs' board meetings. This is what I wanted you to understand, but you don't want to. The president cant chair board meetings. We can rotate the chairman of the board position amongst d board members. Another good idea. Will b updating d constitution with DailyNews' proposal asap...

The Chairperson is the President and he's also a Board member. He has to be elected not appointed or rotated around.

On the highlighted, I think you are the one who has refused to accept that there's virtually not a writing association using that leadership style you are proposing.

Ours will b d first writing association with ds method, if dt's what you want to hear. It's a bettr option dn d president being d board chair as well. Abeg we'v settled ds. You won. Let's move on? You just want to keep arguin...

Aims: 1. To build a world f writers who wil contribute 2 dis nations buildn process through d power f d pen.
2. To encourage more readership of d works we produce.
3. To make YAN a household name in Nigeria.
A Brief:
In a tym lik dis wen evrytn is crumblin in d nation, leaders r failn n citizens d4 loosn hope. It is very neccessary dt as writers we feed d nation with d ryt thots wc cud serve as a lead in hlpin us develop actions wc r capable f buildin a worthy nation 4 every1 2 live in. If u ask mi wat nigerians nid ryt nw is writers. Writers who through their works can offer great perspectives 2 d dev.of dis country,continent n d world at large.
It is time 4 writin 2 take ova d face of nig. Film-makers av done dis, musicians r doin dis n now it is our turn as writers 2 do dys by takn ova d face f nig. Dnt we tink of a tym in wc instead f ppl listenin 2 d unhealthy nig musics n watchn d obscene nig movies filled up evrywia in dis country ppl wil begin 2 read our works, watch our programmes n apprecia8 us.
It is tym 2 take YAN n writn as a whole 2 d streets, homes n evrywia around d nation. 'It is YAN 4 WRITE CAMPAIGN' n we must rise up n move dis campaign sme reasonable kilometres away 4rm its birthin ground. Join mi n support d 'YAN 4 WRITE CAMPAIGN'.

* Corporate & private sponsorships such as d fed & state givts., multinational companies, fed n state govt.ministries n parastatals etc.
*Partnerships with likeminded assoc's n org's, universities,educational bodies etc.

Luke, that's a great idea up there, and I want to assure you that other members are glad you came up with it, and I want to also assure you that it will be considered as soon as we are through with the election and swearing in of elected excos...thanks for this great idea. Whenever I see ideas like this coming up from members, it gives me joy, and makes me smile...because it shows that this project, YAN will go far in restructuring Nigeria's long dead literary sector. Please I want to implore all of us once again to please step up our faith and ambition with YAN, and let's jointly work together to bring this idea into an enviable fulfilment, and then leave a legacy for the yet unborn Nigerians. God bless YAN members, God bless YAN and may God bless Nigeria! Goodmorning fellows.
