The MUBSS Annual General Meeting 2009/2552BE

The Melbourne University Buddhist Studies Society has confirmed the date & time to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 2009.

1) AGM
What is an AGM? An AGM is one of the most important meetings of the year, its where we officially pass on the administration of the club to a new committee for the new year. There are elections for committee members, and reports about past events.

It is also very important because the amount of people who turn up directly influences the future of MUBSS. If we don’t get at least 30 members (the minimum quorum in our constitution) on the day, WE CEASE TO EXIST AS AN UMSU AFFILIATED CLUB. Also the amount of members we have influences our funding, so the more people who come, the more money we have to put on events! This is why we need as many members as possible
to turn up for the meeting – that means you! We would appreciate your
attendance as the social cohesion & progress of the society lies in you.
In essence, the most important thing is that you just come!

Venue: Gryphon Gallery, Graduate Centre (1888 Building) (near the Eastern Resource Centre)

Date: Thursday, 14th May 2009

Time: 3.30pm-5.00pm

2)Office Bearers 2009/2010
We mentioned elections of committee members above. Next, then the second
most important thing is the election of the new committee. ALL POSITIONS
ARE
OPEN FOR NOMINATION. This means that anyone can nominate to join the
committee. The positions available for nomination are:
Executive Committee
1. President
2. Vice President
3. Treasurer.
4. Secretary.

(Note: as stipulated by UMSU, at least TWO of the Executive Committee MUST BE A STUDENT UNION MEMBER, which does not include UMPA)

General Committee
5. Dharma Coordinators (1-2) (organise dharma talks etc)
6. Publicity Officers (1-2) (take care of website, make posters etc)
7.Librarian (look after locker and resources)
8. Welfare Officer (organise charity related things)

Being a committee member is a very rewarding experience, you’ll get to make decisions, work in a team, and get great satisfaction when you see
members enjoying the things you have put on. The time commitment is not huge – you only get out what you put in!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE FOR ANY OF THOSE POSITIONS PLEASE SEND US
AN EMAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (email address located below).

More details of the AGM will be listed soon.

Sadhu & rejoice!
