Annual General Meeting & Awards Banquet / Call for Awards Nominations

The Potomac River Sailing Association Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Awards Ceremony will be held on Saturday, November 16, 12:00-3:00 pm, at the Alexandria Bier Garden (710 King Street, Alexandria VA, 22314).  Please RSVP sooner (rather than later!) using this link – https://forms.gle/AzjqNR4UQSq3a2tf7 – so that we can scale the food order appropriately. The cost is $30/person, which covers the buffet. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) may be purchased at the bar.  We will have great food, awards, some nice and well-deserved recognitions, and more! Children are welcome. Please do RSVP soon, though, to help us out as we plan the event!

As you think about the AGM and reflect on our 2024 racing season, please consider nominating fellow sailors for our PRSA Awards.  Use this form – https://forms.gle/Gaf4GRMzYhyTbA526 – to nominate individuals (award descriptions are provided on the nomination form) by Monday, November 4.  After nominations close, we will send out an online ballot (all dues-paying members of PRSA are eligible to vote) to select the award winners.  Award winners will be announced at the 2024 AGM & Awards Ceremony.

Finally, we are still seeking nominations for some vacant and soon-to-be Vacant PRSA Executive Committee Positions.  I’m pleased to announce that we have one nominee for the Secretary position.  If you are interested in serving as Vice Commodore or Treasurer (or Secretary), please let us know.  Nabeel, currently serving as Treasurer, has offered to move over to Vice Commodore if we find somebody to serve as Treasurer.  You can read the position descriptions in Article IV of our PRSA Bylaws at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hTChVfws3VvGSUgKhIOBLU5gaqIOs2Xr/view?usp=sharing.  


Cheers,
Aaron
