IV. Elections
The process has changed.
Previously, all candidates had to run for a particular position (e.g. President, Webmaster,
Treasurer). This year – ALL positions [President, Vice President, Treasurer, Webmaster,
Corporate Relations Chair, Chair (x3)] are open. How is this going to work?
The application for a position on the board is a general application. ALL eight (8) positions of
the board are open. The eight board members will be selected by majority vote at the General
Body Meeting on Thursday December 6th. All members will begin as general Chairs. In the
transition time up to the end of February, the four seniors on the current board will remain with
the board to advise and act as guidance. After E-Week (Feb 18-22), the board will hold internal
elections in order to place the eight members of the new ESAC board into titled positions.
Voting process: Each club present will receive one (1) vote on up to eight (8) candidates. In other
words, each club can vote for up to eight different people, no repeats. Results will be announced
shortly after the meeting concludes and votes are tallied.
The application form is attached.
They are due to lesliec@seas.upenn.edu by Monday December 3 at 11:59pm.
The elections themselves will be held Thursday December 6 in Wu & Chen auditorium at
6:30pm.
