April 29, 2021 · 0 Comments

Setting out with a new vision for this year in the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame Annual General Meeting last week, there are available volunteer positions to get involved with the organization.

Wanted are a Board of Governors’ Director, manager of website and maintenance, a marketing chairman and volunteers for multiple committees including education, marketing, induction and cornerstones.

“A Board of Governor’s director is essentially someone who is going to sit on our Board. There is an expectation that they will participate in one committee minimum. We’re looking at five to eight hours of their volunteer time a month,” said President of the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame Javed Khan.

“We’re looking for someone to be a connector in our community, someone who can come with innovative ideas and action them and an individual who can be a tremendous ambassador for the Hall of Fame.”

The Manager of website and maintenance is someone who is tech-savvy and familiar with content management systems.

The Marketing Chairman is someone with extensive knowledge in continuing to expose the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame within the community and will help with branding the name.

As for general volunteers, those who wish to make an impact in the education sector, marketing, induction nominations and in cornerstones will have multiple areas they can contribute into.

Potential volunteers may contact Lisa at executiveassistant@aurorahof.ca to inquire.

Amongst the many goals set out for this year are engaging with the honoured members more frequently and seeking more revenue opportunities, as officials noted during the meeting the Hall is set to bring back the annual induction celebration dinner.

“We are planning an induction celebration dinner in November of 2021 and it is going to be at The Venetian,” Khan said.

As of now, Khan says there are four nomination applications being reviewed. One of those four is “very strong”, one other is “fairly strong” as well, and the other two are being worked on.

The Aurora Sport Hall of Fame nominations portal has been reopened on their website for 2022. For those who know of someone to nominate, you can begin their application at any time.

For other questions and inquiries you may contact Lisa for anything further, and you may also contact Javed Khan directly at president@aurorahof.ca.
