AGM Week 7
Coming up later this term is our Annual General Meeting (AGM), when we elect a brand new committee to be in charge of the society's day-to-day operations. This is your opportunity to run for a committee position, take charge, and improve the society in ways you like.
The AGM will be immediately followed by Boardgames and Cake, and is on Friday the 19th of February, at 18:30, in Room LMB/038X of the Law and Management Building (time and room booking to be confirmed). LMB/038X is the moot court room, which in my opinion is a great place for a committee election!
To run or vote in elections you need to be a paid member of the society! Membership fee can be paid at the AGM, before running or voting.
The committee positions open for election are as follows:
