FY18 Region J Elections

Election season is upon us! If you are interested in getting involved at the region or society level of SWE, please let us know! There are many great opportunities to showcase your leadership skills. FY18 leadership position terms run from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

We are currently soliciting applicants for:

* Professional Senator

* Collegiate Senator

* Region Representative to the Society Nominating Committee

* Region Collegiate Representative

* Region Collegiate Communications Editor

* Lt. Governor

* Treasurer

* Secretary

The Senator positions and Representative to the Society Nominating Committee are normally 2-year terms, but the Society has a plan to dissolve SWE regions at the end of FY18, so these positions would serve 1 year and FY18 would be the last year for all region leadership positions! 

For more information about these positions, go to this link on the Region J website: http://regionj.swe.org/uploads/2/0/3/7/20375581/region_officer_position_descriptions-042214-aco.pdf

If you are a professional interested in running for any of these positions, please contact Coral Jean (coraljean.cotterell@swe.org).  If you are a collegiate, please contact Nicole Woodman (nicole.p.woodman@gmail.com) for more information ASAP.

Applications (which consist of your name, section, membership number, and a list of previous SWE experience-year & role) for Senator, RCR, and RCCE are requested by Friday, February 10th, 2017. These candidates approved by the nominating committee will also have to submit a photo and candidate statement (a short bio and explanation of why you are running/what you hope to accomplish in the role) to HQ for inclusion on the Society ballot. More details will be provided on this later. Note that you are welcome to go ahead and submit your photo and candidate statement with your application.

The requested due date for the other region positions, Lt. Governor, Secretary, Treasurer, and Society Nominating Committee, is March 1st, 2017.

Note that some travel funding is available for all of these roles.
