There's an old saying in the non-profit world that “20% of your volunteers do 80% of the work.” Now, many of the current 20%'ers are leaving the program and Student Council is looking for some representatives for next semester.
I would encourage anyone reading this (and especially those who haven't done a lot of volunteer work in their time at FIMS) to consider joining. I criticize Student Council as much as anyone but I also realise that they do fulfill a very valuable role. Joining student council is a great way to gain some experience and skills and have an impact on the program in a positive way.
Here's the notice…
Your MLIS Student Council needs representatives
for the fall 2006 semester.
Do you have it in you to be a
representative? If so, then I expect to
either hear from you or see you next week.
The following is a list of available
positions:
Academic Representative
Communications/Web master
Social (1)
Fundraiser
SOGS Representative
Secretary
Treasurer
If you are interested in one of these
positions please come and meet with the current representatives on Wednesday
July 19, 2006 in room NCB 295 from 12-1pm.
Current representatives will be able to provide you with information on
what their position entails.
Please e-mail me (tremilla@uwo.ca) if you are unable to attend
this meeting and would like to become a Student Council representative.
Sincerely,
Tracy Remillard
