Greetings Adventurers,
This just a quick reminder that we’ll be having our AGM on the 3rd of April at 5pm, online between our Sunday gaming sessions.
On the night we’ll be inviting members to propose new motions to the society, this could be to introduce a policy you’d like us to adopt or something you want us to take action on. We’re asking that all motions be submitted by 5pm on Saturday the 19th of March, this is so we can give the membership time to read and consider your motion. We have a guide on how to put forward a motion and a template available here: https://geas.org.uk/proposals
All proposals should be sent to the committee via email at: geas.committee
We’ll also be voting in a new committee! All eligible members are welcome to nominate themselves or another, however, due to EUSA restrictions only matriculated student members may run for non-advisory roles. Additionally, the advisory role of Social Media Manager is being retired this year and won’t be up for election. If you want to apply for one of these roles then you must attend the AGM on the 3rd, you’ll be expected to give a short speech about why you should be elected to the committee and answer questions from attendees.

- President (Executive) – The head of the committee, responsible for delegating tasks among office bearers and direction of the society as a whole.
