EGM
This was is opportunity for members to join the committee and help run the society. At this EGM, we are electing one role:
- Events Officer: The Events Officer is responsible for arranging both drinking and non-drinking events. They should come up with ideas for socials, promote the social events, and book venues where needed.
Each candidate will have the opportunity to present their manifesto to the society, with members allowed to ask questions at the end. Voting will use the First Past The Post voting system; the person with the most votes will win. Members can vote to Re-Open Nominations (RON) if they wish to. If RON has a plurality of votes, the election for that role will be re-run as a by-election at the next EGM. Voting will be open for 10 minutes after all candidates present their manifestos.
EGM Results
20 candidates voted in the EGM. The results for each role are as follows.
Events Officer
- Dillon Geary: 15
- Re-Open Nominations: 5
Dillon Geary has the plurality of votes, and therefore, is elected as Events Officer.
Member Talks
After our EGM, we will be opening the floor to our members to give short talks, ~10 mins in length (if you want to talk for longer, just let us know). You will receive a flag worth 15 points for taking part.
