IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING AN OFFICER: Only four members will be considered as candidates for each position (20 members total). Create a 1-2 minute speech to present to our membership: In your speech, please describe the service project you would like to create or oversee. Describe the qualities that make you the right candidate for office. Be very specific when you are speaking, so that students will know why they should vote for you.
VOTING We will vote immediately after the speeches are over. Each member will have their own ballot via Google Classroom. It will track your responses, but that is just to make sure that students are only voting once. No one who misses this meeting will be allowed to vote at a later time. Each candidate will be allowed to vote.
