The
Cecilian
Society
Annual General Meeting 2010
The Annual
General Meeting of The Cecilian Society, University of Glasgow, will
take place on Thursday 13th May 2010
at 7pm in Committee Room 1 of the Queen Margaret Union.
The AGM is open to all members of the Society to hear how we've done in
our activities over the past year, including from a financial
perspective, and to elect the new Committee for next year. If you want
to know more about what happens at the AGM, please see the following:
Nominations
for
committee positions are now open! Nominations should be in writing,
must be proposed and seconded by current Society members, and must be
in the hands of the Secretary before 7pm on Wednesday 12th May 2010.
Below is a sample form which you can use for nominations if you wish,
but any piece of writing with the correct information is perfectly
acceptable, and in fact I very much encourage creative nomination
'papers'!
If
you wish to
stand for a Committee position, you should hand in your nomination as
above, and you may also create a short written manifesto for people to
peruse on the day. If you are standing for an Executive position, you
are entitled to make a speech before the election. Anyone is entitled to know
what nominations
have been made at any stage;
simply ask the Secretary
by text, email, carrier pigeon, semaphore... Please do, I like
being asked things!
This
is
also the
time for any Constitutional Amendments that anyone wishes to propose.
These too must be handed to the Secretary with proposer's and
seconder's
signatures before the above deadline. The current version of the
Constitution may be found below. General Meetings are conducted
according to the Standing Orders, and thus, should you have anything
you think should be added to the Agenda, please let me know this before
the same deadline.
If
you need to give
me a nomination or have any questions at all then simply get in touch
using any of the details below. Alternatively, find me or any other
Committee member lurking about campus or the pub. This applies even
more than usual if you're wondering whether or not to stand for a
position: any Committee member should be a valuable source of info on
what they've done over the year, and can provide much more advice than
I can here. If you want more info on Committee roles or Societal
history, see the following slightly outdated, but still roughly correct
documents.
If
you can attend the
AGM, please do, as we need to have a certain number of Society members
there for the meeting to be valid, and you can't use your vote if
you're not there. Plus it will be lots of fun, and there will be
drinking!
Hurray
for the AGM!
