Election info; Reminder: General Meeting, Monday, Sept 14th, 4 pm, Kuiper 312; Rockoon Project meeting; Engr. Club Fair

- - - UASEDS Election Info - - -
Here are the important parts to our election:
-You must be a dues paying member to vote.
-You must be a dues paying member to run in the election.

If you are not planning on voting in the election, you can still ask questions at the Q&A session during the meeting. If you are not planning on paying dues/ voting in the election, you can skip down to the next section in the email titled "General Meeting Reminder."

Here is some important information about the election for those interested:

The following candidates are running for UASEDS National Representative (in alphabetical order by last name):

* Keri Hancock

National Representatives work to help keep the national and local levels of SEDS connected. My name is Keri Hancock. I serve as an executive board member for SEDS-USA, participating in SEDS on the national level. Because of my position I attend all national level board meetings. I get the word from the source and must admit that I do already keep UA SEDS in the forefront of my mind during those meetings. In addition to being able to argue for UA SEDS at a higher level than most can reach I also have the benefit of being able to hear the information that hasn't been officially released. Because I work with the board members together on projects I know what is going on before we do an official release of information. This means that I can help to keep UA SEDS pointed in the direction of SEDS-USA more accurately than any other. I also have previous experience attending the Council of Chapter meetings as exec board rep or as a presenter. Attending the council of chapters, or CoC, is one of the main responsibilities of the national rep, a responsibility that I am already familiar with. Since I am already broken into the usual responsibilities, and even adjusted to those extra ones that set me above, I can immediately begin to work the position even harder. I will be posting regular updates to the website. The Exec board already requests that we send in our weekly updates and now that the school year has started and my updates have as well, it will be no problem typing up one more at the same time so that UA SEDS members, and all those interested in SEDS can see what is going on with the organization. I will also be sure that UA SEDS receives its fair share of NOVAs, our SEDS newsletter, and any other publications. Please vote for me. You would clearly be making the better choice. I apologize if I am not in the meeting in person today. Monday the 14th I'll be having a long lab class as the one the week previous was canceled due to the holiday. After talking to the T.A. I'm hoping that in the future lab will not be a problem for my SEDS attendance.

* Tyler Manitakos

* Sara Meschberger

The following candidates are running for UASEDS Technology Officer (in alphabetical order by last name):

* Nathan Mogk

* John Pierce

I will keep the SEDS website neat and up to date and promise to maintain the forums even if constant trolling is required. I am Cisco A+ trained; a leading industry standard for the maintenance of PC machines. So you can all rest assured that the computers and hardware in the SEDS office will work to their full capabilities. And, I will make sure that if the hardware and software in the SEDS office does not meet the demands of the SEDS club then, proper hardware and software will be found and procured as long as it is reasonably obtainable.

The election will be formatted as follows:

* 1-2 minute introduction from each candidate
* 10 minute question & answer session for each position
* Anonymous vote!

Please let me know if you have any questions. Dues can be paid at the beginning of tomorrow's meeting if necessary. If you are running for a position and have yet to pay dues, your dues must be paid before the election occurs.

Good luck to all our candidates!
