Elections Info

Hey everyone, here's the details for our upcoming Officers Elections:

At the beginning of Thursday's Meeting/Movie Night we're going to elect all the officers for the 2005-2006 school year. We will start off with electing the President, and then move down the list one-by-one, so in case someone doesn't win a higher-up position, they can still run for one down the list. Each candidate can speak for about a minute about why they'd be good for the position. Here's a list and short description of each officer position in the order we'll elect them:

President: lays out the direction of Drake Dems, chairs meetings, acts as official representative, delegates out tasks

Vice President: Assists President in duties, fills in for President when absent

Finance Director: Organizes the budget, plans fundraising events

Events Director: Plans the details of most major events

Publicity Director: Organizes efforts to publicize events across campus through posters and fliers

Outreach Director: Coordinates events with other organizations, both on and off-campus

Secretary: Takes all notes and official minutes at meetings

Legislative Liason: Acts as link between the state party and elected officials

OC Representative: Attends all Student Senate Organizational Council meetings to represent the Drake Democrats

Freshmen Representative: organizes efforts to attract new members to Drake Dems


I hope everyone shows up to either run or support who they think will best undertake each position's jobs. You don't need to give any prior Good luck!
