Elections!

April 7, 2008 by cagednerdx.

Hey all! I just wanted to remind everyone that elections for next semester’s officers will be taking place at the next meeting, Thursday, April 17.

I strongly encourage those of you who are regularly involved in SIGGRAPH activities and have a desire to help make a difference in the INTM department to run - we need people who are passionate about maintaining the integrity and togetherness of our SIGGRAPH student organization.

The positions that will be up for election will be:

President (Currently held by Carol)
Presidential duties include organization and leadership of meetings, and cooperation with the Vice President and Faculty Advisor for organization of events (including Kinematifest). Any other responsibilities relating to the group will be filtered through the President, and must be delegated accordingly. The president must, with the vice president (and other officers if they so desire), attend occasional meetings with the Dean and SGA.

Vice President (Currently held by Leah)
The Vice President is responsible for assisting the President in the organization of events, as well as the organization and leadership of meetings as necessary (e.g., in the absence of the President). The vice president must, with the president (and other officers if they so desire), attend occasional meetings with the Dean and SGA.

Secretary (Currently held by Jen)
The secretary is responsible for keeping track of the members of the group, maintaining a current contact sheet, and making note of what occurs at meetings. The secretary may assist the President and Vice President as necessary.

Treasurer (Currently held by Jeremy)
The treasurer is responsible for making semesterly budget proposals and monthly budget reports for SGA. Additionally, the Treasurer is responsible for obtaining necessary reimbursements for SIGGRAPH purchases, and keeping track of the status of the budget. The treasurer may assist the President and Vice President as necessary.

Head of Marketing / Schwagmeister (Currently held by Ben)
Responsible for advertising and marketing of meetings and events. Designs and prints posters, fliers, etc. May be responsible for T-shirts and other schwag. The Schwagmeister may assist the other officers as necessary.

If you notice any errors or omissions, please change or inform as soon as possible.

If you’re interested in any of these positions, leave a post on WebUGraph with who you are and why you think you’re appropriate for the position. Attendance for hopeful officers will be mandatory for the next meeting (the 17th), as you will need to make a brief presentation to the group, and you must be present for voting. We will begin training the new officers as of the meeting following the election: May 1st.
