We, the McMaster MSA executive have decided to open applications for director positions for all MSA members. This decision was made to ensure that there will be a greater diversity of applicants, to rectify any miscommunications and errors regarding the acceptance and declination of nominations and to encourage greater active participation from the general members.

All previous nominations and acceptances are nullified and all interested parties may apply individually.

The director positions are a great way to be involved in planning and organizing the many services that the MSA has to offer. The positions also include certain responsibilities that require positive enthusiasm and a desire to serve the McMaster community.

In addition to the current director positions, there will be one additional director this year. Namely, The director of Technology Services

We encourage everyone who is interested in a directorship position to review the director ‘roles and responsibilities’ document and thoroughly complete the application. Both documents are attached with this e-mail.

What? The whole year has gone by but you still aren't a paid member yet? Tsk. Tsk. Don't worry, it's not too late. You still have a chance to be that paid MSA member you've always wanted. 

Two reasons why everyone NEEDS to become a member:

1. Constitution Amendment: votinghappens on the board, and you can not get on the board without becoming amember. Go to www.macmsa.com/forums toadd yourself on the board. The poll to amend the constitution closes at midnight on Friday, so it is mandatory that everyone gets on the board and participates.We can not make the much needed changes in the amendment unless we get a specified significant proportion of the membership to vote for the amendment.The modified version with the old constitution is on the website and on the message board for you to look over.

2. Participation in Elections - The election process will be starting on Saturday. You can not nominate, get nominated or vote in the elections unless you are a member and have paid your fee. You must be a member by Friday if you want to participate in the e! lection process

Registration is only $5 and you can g et your membership at the following places
- Feb 27- March 2 Daily at the Dawah Booth 9am-3pm
