Officers

Following the election of members, elections for officers will begin. Each person wanting to hold an officer position will submit their name. All candidates for a given position will stand outside, and each candidate will deliver a 2 minute speech (followed by questions) to all members stating why he / she wants the position, and why he / she would be the best person for that position.  Once all candidates have spoken, a secret ballot of all non-candidate members will decide the officer, in which the officer with the most votes wins.

The positions will be filled in the following order: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, EGC Rep, Webmaster, National Rep.  If a candidate does not win in the election for a given position, he / she may apply for another position.
