UNYA SGM coming up!

Hey UNYA Vic!
Hope you are  all surviving exams moonth if that's what plagues you in June or the cold weather if that's what plagues you even more in June. As much as you love this current exec all good things must come to an end. It is almost the end of this UNYA term and we need your help in either selecting the new one or being a part of it.
 
In the past the new exec has been elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and it is often a lengthy process so we’ve decided to break it down. What we have decided to do this year is create a Nominations Committee. The UNYA Vic executive have the constitutional ability to create committees and it just so has it that anyone and everyone in UNYA Vic can be a part of this committee.
 

What is this Nomination Committee?

The meeting of this committee will basically be a Special General meeting of all UNYA Vic members. The job of the committee or the purpose of the meeting is to select a group of nominees for the next executive. These nominees will then be approved at the AGM. At this meeting we will hear speeches from candidates for all exec positions. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of the candidates as well. It looks like and election, smells like an election but those elected still need to be approved at the AGM which will be held in late July. This means come AGM time all we will have to do is report back from the last year and approve the next exec. Shortest AGM ever! We need at least 20 people at this nominations rumble for it to be constitutional and the more UNYAns we have in one spot at one time the better.
