[Ahs-grads] AHGSA Meeting!

[Lexie Varga]

Hello everyone!


Our second AHGSA meeting (and last meeting of the school year) will be held
next week.


Please respond to this when2meet link as soon as possible! My apologies for
not getting this email out earlier---I was quite sick last week.

*NOMINATIONS*


As always, the last meeting of the school year entails discussions
about AHGSA nominations! Below I have included information about the
nomination and election process.


A new president and the conference coordinators will be nominated for the
'25-'26 school year!


- I will send out a Google form later this week.

- This will remain open for a week from the day it is sent.

- Once the nominations are closed, I will be in touch with those who have
been nominated to ensure that they would like to be considered for
president.

- A Google form will be circulated for voting once I have confirmed with
the nominees.


* Please note that only the new president and conference coordinators will
be elected before the end of the quarter. Nominations and elections for the
rest of the AHGSA cabinet will occur during Fall '25 quarter. This will
provide next year's incoming grad students in our department a chance to be
nominated for these positions. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any
concerns with this.
