Two things:
1) We will have our May officers' meeting this Thursday evening at 9:15pm
in the Freer Gym second floor lounge.
The first half hour of all officers' meetings are open to members who wish
to present an issue or concern to the officers and chairpersons, or just
see what is is that we do. (Actually, this officers' meeting probably
won't last more than a half hour, because everything is running quite
smoothly.)
2) Additionally, nominations for the officer positions, chairs, co-officer
positions and co-chairs are currently being accepted.
Our Constitution says:
The offices of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary,
as well as the Competition Chair, Education Chair, Social Chair and
Public Relations Chair exist to provide "opportunities for leadership,
teamwork, and carrying out innovative ideas -- for making a difference
on campus."
But being an officer is not just a resume-stuffer with no pay. If you plan
on periodically volunteering to help us do little jobs anyway, why not just
make the commitment now and get all your dance classes for free in return?
That's right, FREE! because the constitution also says:
As remuneration, each officer, chairperson and volunteer instructor shall
receive free admission to all DI events whose operating costs are not
determined by attendance.
So give it some thought. We're offering a lot more instruction now than we
ever have, so you stand to save quite a bit in exchange for lending us your
organizational skills. Come to the officer meeting this Thursday evening
and see what we do, talk to the current officers, and pick the position (or
co-position) that's right for you (or for you and a friend or two).
The following is a list of positions and nominees:
President: Mark Balzer
Vice President:
Secretary: Cory Tsang
Treasurer: Scott Weitzenhoffer
Education chairperson:
Social chairperson: Derek Young
Competition chairperson:
Publicity chairperson: Colin Edwards
Only student members may serve as President, Vice President, or Treasurer.
Anyone may run for the other offices/chairs.
There's only 2 weeks left to fill these positions: Club elections are
coming up on Thursday May 9th, during the monthly Dancing Illini club
meeting (9:15 pm, Freer Gym).
Thanks,
Mark
