PPA ELECTIONS!!!
(Take a deep breath, lots of info)
Well everyone, it's that time of year again... Students go home, Turkey (or
Tofurkey) is eaten and a new PPA board is elected. Yes, it's the end of the
semester and time to start thinking about elections.
If you have enjoyed PPA events this semester and want to have some say in what
they are in the future, you should run. If you thought the old board did a
really crappy job and you want to step up to make things better, you should
run. Or if you just can't get enough of the Filipinos, you should run.
To be eligible to run for a position/or to vote in our elections, you must be
considered an active member of PPA. This is defined in our constitution as
being someone who has attended at least 2 PPA events during the past calendar
year (ie spring and fall semester). If you are interested in running, you must
be nominated by yourself or a peer and then you must confirm your nomination.
To nominate yourself or someone else, email the person's name and designated
position to ppa.comments@gmail.com
What are the positions you say? Well they're enumerated in the
constitution (along with their duties and responsibilities). But in short,
they include the president, vp internal, vp external, vp of communications,
director of finance, and directors of public relations.
A new constitution with a few amendments was sent over the listserv. If
you did not receive it, please feel free to e-mail
ppa-officers@dolphin.upenn.edu to have one sent to you.
At the elections we will be ratifying the constitution. :)
As it stands now, the election meeting will be held on
Friday, December 9 @ 6:00 at a to be determined location.
Pizza and drinks will be provided.
Hope you guys enjoy your break and start sending your nominations!
Sincerely,
PPA Board
