Where: JHE A114
We will begin with electing the VPs, followed by Directors, and so on. We highly recommend that you select your top three choice positions in the case that another individual receives it. **NEW this year: there will be no \"create your own position\" unless previously discussed with Dhaval (current president) or Meaghan and Karina (future presidents). If more than one person applies for a position, then an anonymous vote will take place with written ballots.

If you have any questions, don\'t hesitate to leave a post, email an exec member, our new fearless leaders (Presidents!) Meaghan Langille (meaghanlangille@ewb.ca) ORKarina Redick (karinaredick@gmail.com).
