Meeting minutes for 9/25/12

September 25th was the very first meeting for the 2012-2013 school year! Here is what occurred:

1. We introduced the new advisers to the club and went over the new format of the club. Some basic points to know:

Our advisers are in charge of organizing and advising our club- while they may book the auditoriums, get permissions from the school, and suggest ideas, it will be up to us to decide and hold our events.

The Executive Board will include a President, Secretary, and Treasurer as well as 3 other executive members and one appointed member. They will be responsible for overseeing the club, resolving issues, determining minimum requirements for membership, etc.

The next "sub level" of the club will be the committees.  Each committee will have 5-7 members, a committee chairperson, and a committee secretary.  These committees are in charge of the organization and execution of events, teams, or whatever else the committee decides to do.  There are 5 main committees with the purposes of: Social Events, Charity Work, Academic Competitions, Educational Events, and Fundraising.  These committees report to the executive board, and their work as well as announcements will be posted on this blog.

The general club base will be responsible for attending events of their interest.While the minimum requirements for attendance and club dues have not been decided, if you are interested in being in the club, then you will have to attend a minimum number of "events" which can range from participating in a competition to listening to a guest speaker.

2. After introducing the club, we held elections.

All candidates gave a 3 minute presentation about a topic in medicine/biology and about themselves, and everyone in attendance voted for 5 members of their choice.

For the results of the election, see the post below.

Thank you for your interest in this club, and let's make this a GREAT year!
