It is GPSA election time and the current Executive Board is seeking nominations for the new slate of positions that will take over in 2010. There will be five positions offered this year described below.
The process for nomination is simple: you nominate yourself for a position you are interested in or you can nominate a fellow student for a position. If that is the case I will contact that person and see if they indeed want to run.
Attached is a self-nomination form that I ask you to fill out and bring to next week's GPSA meeting at 7:15 in AS 123 November 19th. If you cannot make the meeting please contact me in advance. The deadline for nomination is November 11th.
The elections will be held on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19th at 7:15pm in AS123.
