We will be holding elections beginning Saturday. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else for a position, email me with the name and what position. Nominations are due by Friday and actual elections will begin Saturday and last until Tuesday. Once all nominations are in, I will email the list of nominees to everyone. The way elections will work is that any club member who would like to vote will email a third-party student to ensure the elections are not biased. This person will then total all the votes and let me know of the winners. I will let everyone know who that person is on Saturday.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Here are the summaries of the duties of each position:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>
