Fourth General Meeting/Elections
The fourth general meeting of the spring 2014 semester was very different than previous meetings. It was held in a board room in the library and all who were in attendance were eligible to vote on their incoming officers. Many in attendance were students graduating this year who wanted to see the future of FES continue to grow. Whatever the reason, it had the makings of a historic event for our chapter.
Luigi began the meeting with the upcoming events, such as volunteering at MathCounts! and working on fundraising. It was after that that he introduced the candidates for the officer positions. The format was such that each candidate had a few minutes to talk about themselves and "campaign" at the last minute. With four candidates for various positions attending, the focus was on them and after all had spoken, we shifted to a panel format. Everyone in attendance was encouraged to ask questions of the candidates and even pass on advice or express what they would like to see in the coming year. The candidates fielded the questions and voting took place at the end.
Congratulations to our incoming officers!
