IMPORTANT NEWS
Happy New Year - New TUC Roles
Our Club managers Jason Robinson (GM), and Ian Brooks, *new* Membership Development & Communications Manager, wish you a Happy New Year. Our managers are here to serve you, the TUC member, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you need anything!
We begin 2011 with an office restructuring that addresses our continued growth and ambitions to accomplish more for our membership. As mentioned previously and below, we are now hiring an Administration & Events Coordinator (AEC). The AEC will be responsible for running TUC events and also coordinating administrative tasks, registrations, and member services. The former Member Services Coordinator position has now been changed to Membership Development & Communications Manager (MDCM). The MDCM (Ian Brooks) will still coordinate leagues and some office administration, but will now also focus further on developmental opportunities (Juniors, clinics, etc), member communications, and membership promotions. Both MDCM and AEC will report to the General Manager. Marketing and continued field development will be primary roles for the GM in 2011.
We’ve got an exciting year ahead! We’ve already begun planning for 2011 and we look forward to announcing our new projects, new partners, and new offerings! To get a head start on the year visit our Events Calendar for tentative dates on TUC events in 2011.
Administration & Events Coordinator – Accepting Applications Until January 14

The AEC will be an expanded role of the summer student position (Events Manager) and will now function year-round. The AEC will organize and execute TUC events as well as manage a variety of administrative roles and membership services for the Club.
This contract position will offer part-time hours in the fall/winter and full-time hours in the spring/summer. It will be ideal for a senior-level university student, part-time contractor, or retiree with superior administrative skills. The job details can be found here.
