Hi DOC-

 

Elections for the next year are coming up! The four main DOC officer positions (President, two Vice Presidents, and Treasurer) will be chosen via elections in the next few weeks. If you are a DOC Member, you are eligible to both run for a position, and to vote at elections. Ballots will be cast exclusively via digital ballot, and will be open Wednesday, February 24th – Wednesday, March 2nd at 11:59pm.

 

If you are interested in running for an officers' position, please let me know. If you are curious about what the various positions entail, I would be happy to talk to you about any or all of them. This is a great way to give back to the club, and has been a wonderful, positive experience for me over the past few terms. If you are at all thinking about running for an office, I'd be happy to tell you about how great it has been and some of the challenges. This past year’s officers consisted of students both old and new to the DOC, and I highly encourage members of any class year and experience level to consider running. Please think about whether you have the time, interest, and motivation to make a positive contribution to the club. If so, please come talk to me!

 

If you decide that you would like to run, please email me with the name of the position, the terms you would like to run (16S, 16X, 16F, and 17W), and a short blurb for that position by midnight next Monday, February 22^nd. The blurb may either be around 200 words typed or a short <1min video that explains who you are, why you want the position, and why you would be good at it.

 

Also, please feel free to reach out to other past officers in the club and ask them about their experience! Here they are:

 

This year's past Presidents: Spencer Chu, Cedar Farwell

 

VPs (there are 2 per term): Kassie Ammann, Michaela Caplan, Alex Lochoff, Nick Thyr, John French

 

Treasurers: Spencer Chu, Michael Baicker, Rongfei Lu, Patrick Saylor

 

Again, there is no prerequisite to running for an officer position besides being a DOC member. If you want to run, but think you don’t have enough experience, please talk to me. Younger dedicated members often make fantastic officers, just as much as experienced club members. Get your blurbs to me by next Monday, and voting will start on Wednesday.

 

Yours in the out of doors,

Cedar
