My local club needs to select a Territorial Governor. The question was raised - does a Territorial Governor have to be a SASS lifetime member? Anyone know the answer?

Role Summary

A-001A.gifTerritorial Governor is the elected/appointed representative of his or her SASS affiliated club. The Territorial Governor's term of office expires each December 31st. There is no limit to the number of terms one individual may serve.

The Territorial Governor not only represents his constituents to the national body, but also represents the national body to the membership. As with any good politician, the Governor may have personal reservations regarding a position adopted by the Governors, but is always in a position to support and defend "the party line".

The SASS Board of Directors recognizes the Territorial Governors must be in a position of more than mere advisors for this vision to work.

While the SASS Administrative Office and the SASS Corporate Officers have their roles and responsibilities and are chartered with making the decisions necessary to run the company, those issues, policies, and decisions that directly impact the rules of the Cowboy Action Shooting? game will be voted upon by the Territorial Governors.

Questions and issues may originate anywhere, but once they are forwarded to SASS Headquarters, the SASS national organization will frame the questions for the Governors, collect the Governor responses, and construct the proposed revised rules or policies. These proposed revisions will then be reviewed and approved by the Governors.

While many of the Territorial Governor votes will be at the national and regional match meetings chaired by the Wild Bunch, the Territorial Bulletin will generally be used to set the agendas and often used to distribute voting issues. Instructions will be provided in the Bulletin describing the response process.
 

Specific Duties

  • Territorial Governors gather comments, criticisms, needs, suggestions, and proposed rule changes, and communicate these to the SASS Board of Directors
     
  • Maintain current knowledge regarding Cowboy Action Shooting and SASS, its history, philosophy, purpose, presence, direction, and Spirit of the Game
     
  • Communicate the Cowboy Action Shooting story locally/regionally to further the growth of the game
     
  • Represent and support SASS, its philosophy, and its purpose to club members
     
  • Network with other clubs and Territorial Governors

I like the computer literate part!

Yeah.  

In the Old West, the Cowboys, Sheriff's, and TGs definitely had to be computer literate to stay out ahead of all those cows, coyotes, outlaws, bounty hunters, and occasional vigilantes.   They had to keep their mobil devices logged on and fully charged at all times, day and night, with portable charging units in their saddle bags.
