[Thefred] Elections Information

[Kaneck, Hannah G. (2012)]

Renaissance Woman: someone who does a little bit of everything, yet does it very well.
If there is one thing I know it’s who I am.  I am someone who is organized, approachable, and above all someone who sees a lot of potential in this community. If I were elected Community Facilitator for the Spring Semester of 2010, I promise I would be and do anything needed to make this an even greater place to call home.

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<mailto:sean.zimmer at trincoll.edu>) and Ryan (ryan.haney at trincoll.edu<mailto: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.

4. Event Coordinator: Oversees committee established for each weekly event, delegates tasks to the             committee necessary for the execution of the event, performs any task the committee fails to perform, prepares contracts for artists, works with advertising coordinator. The Event Coordinator is expected to oversee the preparations on the day of the event.  The Event Coordinator, or a proxy, should also be on hand to manage the event during the course of the evening.

We strongly encourage anyone who feels so inclined, or even the slightest inkling, to nominate themselves. Serving in an Officer 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
