the account stating that the Executive Committee can transfer the funds to another account if the Membership Secretary dies, is totally incapacitated or is superseded. The Membership Secretary should receive all paid dues to his the IBPA Bulletin. He must Pass all relevant vouchers to the Treasurer without delay. The Membership Secretary is responsible for the printing and the distribution of the membership form, and should seek opportunities to revise and improve it. Officers, Executive Members, Zonal Representatives and other appointees should receive to such forms annually, to facilitate their endeavour to recruit new members. The Membership Secretary is responsible for printing a sufficient number of Membership Cards. He is responsible for the distribution of duly filled-in cards. Every year, the Membership Secretary should prepare a written report to be submitted to the AGM. This report must be sent to the President no later than three weeks prior to the AGM. Three months before the AGM, the Membership Secretary should mail an updated list of paid memberships to the Awards Secretary, so that IBPA awards are not distributed to non-members. The Membership Secretary should keep himself informed through the Editor as to how many of the Sponsored Members who fulfil their obligations to the IBPA annually, and prepare a list of those Sponsored Members who no longer deserve to be sponsored. Together with the Eastern Members' Secretary he should report to the EC every year who should be sponsored for the next year. X) THE AWARDS SECRETARY The Awards Secretary is appointed by President, subject to the ratification of the Executive Committee, and deals with all the awards organised and presented by the IBPA. These are, at October 2008: 1) The IBPA Personality 2) The C & R Motors Award for the Best Play 3) The Gidwani Family Trust Award for the Best Defense 4) The Precision Award for the Best Bid Hand 5) The Precision Award for the Best Article on a System or Convention 6) The Brazilian Award for the Best Play by a Junior 7) The IBPA Sportsmanship Award 8) The IBPA Honour Member 9) The Master Point Press Book of the Year 10) The Alan Truscott Memorial Award It is the task of the Awards Secretary to find candidates for each of these prizes. In the selecting pro- 212 IBPA Handbook 2010 cess he may include deals from the IBPA or other Bulletins, or clippings sent by members. Journalist candidates for awards must be IBPA members, and the Awards Secretary should verify membership with the Membership Secretary if in doubt. The Awards Secretary will usually call upon panels of IBPA members to assist in the selection process, which must be completed, ready for Executive Committee ratification, normally at least one month before the AGM. The President is automatically a member of all the panels, unless he himself is one of the competitors, and, as such, he should receive a copy of everything going out from the Awards Secretary to the Panel Members. The selections should remain confidential until the awards have been handed out. All IBPA Award Winners shall receive a printed Diploma in a glass frame. Such diplomas will be issued both to the players and to the journalists, in addition to potential cash- and/or other prizes. The Awards Secretary is responsible for organizing that the prepared Diplomas are available, printed and framed and ready for handing out at the Awards Presentation at the AGM. The Awards secretary should prepare a short presentation of the award winners every year, to be published in the IBPA Bulletin together with the article describing the award-winning play, and an Awards Report, which should be sent to the President no less than three weeks before the AGM. XI) THE CLIPPINGS SECRETARY The Clippings Secretary is appointed by the President, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee, and deals with the preparation of a clippings book whenever such a book is required according to sponsorship agreements. The Clippings Secretary will normally be appointed among the members of the Executive Committee, and is responsible for collecting, receiving and filing clippings for IBPA sponsors. However, this duty may be delegated to other persons in when the President finds it necessary. There should be one separate book of clippings for each sponsor each year. For each sponsor the Clippings Secretary must assure himself of the final date for receipt of clippings from the members. When the date expires and the book is completed, the Clippings Secretary should inform the President who may request that the book be sent to the sponsor. The Clippings Secretary is responsible for the preparation and drawing of prize winners when this is necessary. Normally this will take place at the AGM under "Other Competent Business".
XII) THE SPONSORED MEMBERS' SECRETARY The Sponsored Members' Secretary is appointed by the President, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee, and deals with Sponsored Members. It is the duty of the Sponsored Members' Secretary to act as liaison officer between the IBPA and potential sponsored members. He should keep in contact with the Editor and the Membership secretary as to whom should be sponsored each year. The Sponsored Members' Secretary should inform every sponsored member of his obligation to send in at least one annual report to the IBPA Bulletin, translated into English, and, that failing to do so, he will risk losing his sponsored membership next year. The Sponsored Members' Secretary should prepare an annual report, which should be forwarded to the President no later than three weeks before the AGM. XIII) THE EDITOR The Editor of the IBPA Bulletin is appointed by the Executive Committee, and should normally be one of its elected members. He reports to the President, and in cases of printing of controversial material, he is to consult the President before doing so. Unless otherwise directed by the President or the Executive Committee, the Editor, either by himself or through a third party, is responsible for the contents, the keeping of time-limits and for the actual production of masters of the IBPA Bulletin, ready for printing. In addition to the normal monthly issues he will usually, on the instructions of the President or the Executive Committee, prepare a special issue at the end of major championships. Together with the Executive Editor he is responsible for the lay-out of the IBPA Bulletin. It is therefore important that a large part of the Editor's travel and hotel expenses at major championships be paid for by IBPA if he is not there in another paid capacity. The Editor will also be paid according to the agreement of the Executive Committee. It is the duty of the Editor to keep informed about the time limits for publication of the AGM, and he is to follow the President's specifications concerning the publication of awards, clippings competitions, sponsorship agreements and other things he is asked to publish. XIV) THE EXECUTIVE EDITOR The Executive Editor of the IBPA Bulletin is appointed by the Executive Committee. Unless otherwise directed by the President or the Executive Committee, the Executive Editor is responsible for the keeping of time limits, for the lay-out (in collaboration with the Editor and the President) and for the printing and distribution of the IBPA Bulletin. The Executive Editor must keep in close contact with the Membership Secretary, to know to whom each Bulletin should be sent, and he must also pay attention to orders from either the Editor or the President. The Executive Editor will be paid according to the written agreement he has with the Executive Committee. XV) THE ZONAL VICE-PRESIDENTS "Zonal Vice-President" was formerly an honorary title given to an individual who had done outstanding service to the IBPA. The title was awarded by resolution of an AGM upon prior recommendation of the Executive Committee. It has been decided by the Executive Committee, and agreed by the AGM that this title is to expire with the holders of the title. No more members will be appointed Zonal Vice- Presidents. In its place, the Executive Committee will appoint Zonal Representatives. The Zonal Vice-Presidents may attend IBPA Executive meetings when they are present, but have no voting rights. The Zonal Vice-President is an official IBPA contact person in his zone. He should receive Membership forms from the Membership Secretary, and do his best to increase membership. Once a year the Zonal Vice-President should supply the Bulletin Editor with a report of developments in his zone, particularly reporting from zonal championships, and he should include at least one good hand. A condensed version of this should be submitted to the AGM via the Organisational Vice-President, who controls and co-ordinates all zonal activity. It is of great importance to the IBPA that Zonal Vice- Presidents act as IBPA ambassadors toward potential sponsors. The discovery of any potential sponsor should be reported promptly to the Organisational Vice-President and the President, who will appoint a suitable person, often the Zonal Vice- President, to conduct liaison. XVI) THE ZONAL IBPA REPRESENTATIVES Zonal IBPA Representatives are appointed by the Executive Committee upon the recommendation of the Organizational Vice- President, and are ratified by the AGM. A Zonal Representative is an official IBPA contact person in his zone. He should receive Membership forms from the Membership Secretary, and do his best to increase membership. IBPA Handbook 2010 213
