Our annual meeting took place on October 10 at Ozone’s and was a resounding success. We had many members participating either in person or virtually and contributing to that process. For those who weren’t able to attend, here are a few highlights:
- Board and Officer Elections – The 2022 Lansing Common FC Board is:
- Eric Walcott – President
- Geoff Sykes – Vice President
- Steve Beckman – Secretary
- Josh Pugh – Treasurer
- Jay Biggs
- Scott Oberlander
- Erika Weadock
- Women’s Soccer – The membership supported a motion to begin planning to launch a women’s team no sooner than 2023. This does not mean that we are committed to launching a team in 2023, but that we are committed to that being part of our future and will take active steps to prepare for that.
- Board Terms – Our bylaws were amended to change Board terms from 2 years to 3 years, with staggered terms. This will allow us to continue to have at least 2 seats up for election every year while ensuring increased stability by not having all 7 members of the board up for election in the same year.
- Long-term planning – We continued discussion and brainstorming towards long-term goals. Look for more information coming soon on those ideas and how you can be part of that process.
