HOW CAN I RUN FOR A POSITION? The election process may vary from club to club, however most elections will include a speech and voting process. Talk to your club President to get a better idea of how our club will hold elections this year.

GIVING A SPEECH If you will be giving a speech to run for a designated club position, remember to take a deep breath and give your best effort! Tips: ★ Plan months or weeks in advance! Make sure to begin writing your speech with enough time ahead in order to avoid stress and be as prepared as possible. ★ Show passion! Mention why you want the position and most importantly, HOW you will help your club during the 2022-2023 term ★ Practice! Practice! Practice! Make sure to spend time practicing your speech and time yourself so you meet the time limit that your club has allocated!

RULES TO REMEMBER! All clubs MUST follow all election process policies and rules to ensure an accurate and fair election! ★ ★ ★

There is NO campaigning allowed! This includes texting a friend and asking for their vote, advertising your candidacy on social media etc. All candidates MUST be dues-paid. Non-dues paid members are not allowed to run for any position During the voting process, the club must meet quorum and have at least 50% of the club in attendance during the election GOOD LUCK TO ALL CANDIDATES! NO MATTER THE RESULTS, REMEMBER TO KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND GIVE YOUR BEST EFFORT!
