ElectionsElections will take place during seminar on March 29th

An issue that PASA has come across recently is that our Constitution is in need of an update

The Constitution is our underlying policy that gives meaning and direction to everything we do and in it is a clause that states any changes must be voted upon by all PASA members

We will be making changes to the Constitution and it will then be emailed to everyone and posted on the website for comments and review

Then on March 29th this will be voted upon Note: if you, by chance, don’t give a flying flute about the

Constitution, don’t vote for that section of the elections. But also consider that YOU have elected PASA exec and that you trust us to make changes that would benefit the students we serve

Once again, the positions are...PresidentVice-PresidentTreasurer Communications Officer  Sports Representative Social Representative Outreach OfficerSSC Representative

Thank you and enjoy seminar!

Oh and give Dina a round of applause
