Generate notices of call for nominees and make the announcement at the April PA meeting. Receive nominations and then present the final slate of candidates at the May PA meeting.

Audit Committee
The audit committee will prepare an audit of all financial affairs of the organization and will prepare a written report to be presented to the membership at its May meeting or upon completion of their review and investigation, as applicable. The treasurer will make all books and records available to them.

 

Budget Committee
The budget committee is responsible for drafting a proposed budget each spring for approval by the membership along with a written review of the prior year's budget, both of which must be presented for vote at the May membership meeting.

 

 

Running for a position on the Executive Board or SLT is a great opportunity to be more involved at Tech.
Nominations are taken in the fall, with elections in October. Incoming families have the opportunity to run for
one of the six open SLT positions  or one of Executive Board positions. Nominations for those will be taken in September
with elections in October.

 

The PA Presidency, VP of Fundraising, and VP of Communication can be filled by an individual or by two people running

together. An additional sophomore vice president (VP) can be elected in the fall. Candidates may run for positions

not filled in the spring in the fall.
