Hillel is excited to announce that the President position for WMU Hillel elections will be held on March 30. Details on how the elections will be run are explained below. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our Graduate Advisor, Devorah Glanz, at devorah.a.glanz@wmich.edu.
Any member of Hillel is able to participate and run in the upcoming Hillel President Elections. The duties of the President are outlined as part of an ongoing basis and currently are being discussed by the Advisor, Grad Advisor, and current President- for a general sense of those duties and responsibilities please contact either one of us.
Elections will be held on March 30th at 7pm in Room 105 of the Bernhard Center. In order to run and receive consideration for this position you must declare your candidacy at the meeting(s) prior to the election- either March 16th or March 23rd. If you have not declared your candidacy at either of the two ‘declaration’ meetings you will be ineligible to run in the election on March 30th.
We will begin promptly at 7pm with a brief speech and platform discussion by each candidate. Each candidate will have maximum of 10 minutes to present their previous leadership experience, goals for the organization, and overall reasoning why they are running for this position. After this, we will have a quick question and answer to further clarify any questions or comments from the organization. All candidates will step into the hall and voting will be conducted by paper ballot. The current graduate advisor and president will count the ballots and declare the winner immediately following.
All Hillel members are eligible to vote in this upcoming election, however, in order to have voting power and considered a ‘member in good standing’, you must have been present at AT LEAST one general assembly Hillel meeting (Monday night) in the past school year (Fall 2008-Spring 2009). At the time of the election, we will have had a total of 24 meetings over the course of the past school year giving ample opportunity for many individuals to participate in the election process.
In the event of a tie, the Advisor, Graduate Advisor, and Outgoing President will discuss in private and cast a tie-breaking vote.
A transition period of one week will be in place starting March 30th immediately following elections. The following meeting on April 6th will be run as usual by the outgoing president in conjunction with the incoming president. After the April 6th meeting is completed, the transition period will be completed and the incoming President will assume all roles and responsibilities. All further leadership decisions, appointment of members, and general communication will come from the Incoming President and Graduate Advisor.
The positions of Vice President of Membership, Vice President of Programming, Secretary, Treasurer, WSA/CAB Representative, Website Coordinator and Street Team Leader will be filled by paper applications available from April 6th until April 20th, these paper applications will be emailed to all members and final decisions will be made the week of April 20th. The dates of the paper application process is subject to change.
Please direct any questions on this process to Devorah Glanz, Graduate Advisor, at devorah.a.glanz@wmich.edu.
