We will have the following positions in the club: 2 co-presidents, 2 first-country ambassadors, and 2 second-country ambassadors. You can be a co-president and an ambassador, but you can't be an ambassador of both countries. There will be an eligibility rule to run for co-president. You must have an attendance rate of at least 80% (that's a B). To check your attendance rate, go to the "Program" page and click on the "General" tab.

If you do not meet the eligibility requirement to run for Co-President, you can go through an appeals process. You may make a short speech about why you should be allowed to run. Then, the club will vote as a whole on your eligibility. You need to get two-thirds of the club's vote in order to become eligible. Remember, you do not need to meet the eligibility requirement if you want to run for an ambassador position.

We will be having the elections tomorrow. We will first make a list of everyone who wants to run, and then each candidate will give a very short speech. We will then vote by paper, and the winners will be announced during the meeting.

We will also be working on ideas for next year, so come prepared with some thoughts on how to improve the club. Thanks for a great year, and I hope you decide to stay for next year!

I just want to remind you that with the conference coming up this week, we need to make sure that everyone has turned in their forms and money. Make sure that you have given a check for $50 to Mr. Duran. Also make sure you have turned in both the BSD permission slip and the Code of Conduct. If you do not turn in all of these items, the school will not be able to let you go on the trip. Remember, we leave at about 6:30 on Thursday morning!

I hope you are all enjoying your spring break so far. I am! I hate to have to add work to your break, but I want to remind you that MUN will not accept any resolutions after Wednesday, April 2. That means that you need to finish your resolutions by the day of our next meeting. I want to keep a copy of everyone's resolutions, so please send them to me when you are done. If you want me to help you edit it, just let me know.

Thanks!

It would be very helpful for all of us if you would bring a rough draft of your first resolution this Wednesday. It doesn't have to be perfect; it just needs to be started, and something that you can work on at the meeting. Resolutions should be much easier to do than position papers, so by the time they're finished, they should be pretty good! Remember, you're trying to write a resolution that people in your committee would support.

See you Wednesday (if not tomorrow)!

I just wanted to let you all know that today, I added a new feature to the website. You probably know that I post a lot of news articles on this page. Sometimes, I also send emails to all of the MUN members. Well, I decided that it would be more efficient to combine the two processes. The product of my half-hour period of work is a new script that sends an email notification to everyone whenever I post a new article. From now on, I will rarely send direct emails to everyone. If I tell something to everyone, I will post an article on the website, and you will all receive an email about it.

As always, please let me know if there's anything else I can add to the website!

Anyway, I spent part of today updating the calendar. Now, instead of individual meeting plans (who I'll bet no one really looked at), you can click on a meeting in the calendar, and a box will slide open with information about the meeting. Pretty cool, huh? Maybe now it'll be more convenient to see what's going to happen at the next meeting!

Speaking of the next meeting, if you want to see, go check what we're doing on the calendar. Then look around the site and see if you can find the PDFs of the slideshows I'm going to be showing! ;D
