- Subject: CSBSU Exec Position
- Your name.
- The position you wish to run for. For a list of available positions and their corresponding roles, see our constitution.
There is no need to specify reasons for joining or previous experiences! You can save those for your speech. Keep in mind that no previous experience is required, and that attending our previous events is not a requirement for running. However, showing up at our events throughout the year demonstrates dedication and would put you in a more favourable standing for the elections. There is a single requirement that you take at least one CSB course during the year you run for a position.
After sending us an email, you will receive a confirmation email with details about the election date. This year, we’ll be doing elections on Movie Night. Attend Movie Night, and come prepared with a 1 minute (approx.) speech describing who you are and why you want this position.
Remember, as an exec member, you are expected to perform your assigned duties, attend and help out in our events, attend office hours and meetings weekly. Before you run for a position, make sure you have the time to commit to club activities.
