[Thefred] Elections Information

[Ryan Haney]

Hello Fred!

So, as mentioned in this past Sunday's meeting, it's election time  
here at The Fred Pfeil Community Project! We are looking for those  
able-minded individuals who are willing to grasp the wheel and steer  
this ship into the spring semester.

If you would like to nominate yourself for any of the Officer  
Positions, please e-mail both Sean (sean.zimmer at trincoll.edu) and Ryan  
(ryan.haney at trincoll.edu) with the position you would like to run for  
and a meaty paragraph describing why you would like to serve in that  
role or why you feel that you are qualified. Self-nominations only  
please.

ALL NOMINATIONS AND CANDIDATE BLURBS MUST BE RECEIVED BY SATURDAY,  
DECEMBER 12TH AT 12:00 PM (NOON).

A few other notes about the elections: You can nominate yourself for  
more than one position. If you are elected for more than one position,  
you can then choose which you would like to fill.

All candidates will have the opportunity, if they so choose, to  
address the community and speak to their nominations at the next Fred  
meeting, which will be this Sunday, December 13th at 1:00 PM. If you  
are abroad or unable to attend the meeting, you are welcome to have a  
proxy speak on your behalf.

Please find below descriptions of all the Officer Positions as found  
in The Fred Constitution.

We strongly encourage anyone who feels so inclined, or even the

Position is one of the best ways to give back to The Fred. Strong  
student leadership is vital in a community such as ours, where the  
success of the program is not determined by faculty or administration,  
but by the strength of our own efforts.

Please feel free to contact Sean or Ryan if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Sean and Ryan
