The PSA Annual General Meeting (AGM) will
be taking place on the 31st of October at 4.30pm, in Law Lecture Theatre
1.
The PSA AGM has three main purposes:
1)
The PSA President and Treasurer
give reports.
Want to know what the PSA has been doing for you all
year? Want to know how we have spent out budget? Now is your chance to hear all
about it, and ask some questions.
2)
Vote and discuss any big issues
in regards to postgrads and the PSA.
Most issues the PSA Committee and executive can deal
with on their own, but occasionally we want input from the rest of you! This
year we will be making some *minor* changes to the Constitution (the big ones
went through at the SGM- but we made some typos that need to be corrected).
We would also like to ask you all what YOU want out of
your PSA. What should we be doing for you in 2014 and beyond?
3)
Elect the 2014 PSA Committee.
Usually nominations will run before the AGM. Those that
nominate for positions will then be elected at the AGM. This year we only had
singular nominations for 2014 PSA Committee positions so many positions are
already filled. However, there are many positions that received no nominations
and have therefore not been filled. At the AGM we are allowed to take
nominations from the floor to fill position on the 2014 PSA Committee.
Positions that we still have open are: Media Officer,
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Officer, Events
Officer,
Off Campus Officer,
Arts Faculty Representative
Education Faculty Representative
ALVA Faculty Representative
Law Faculty Representative
MDHS Faculty Representative
Ordinary Committee Members (two)
Need a little incentive to come to the AGM?
We will have providing free pizza at the AGM!
AND the
November Connect will be shifted to be AFTER the AGM on October 31st. The kicker- if you want to come to the
Connect, you have to attend the AGM first- we will be ticking off names, and
giving out arm bands to enforce this.
