Our Anual General Meeting (AGM) is coming up VERY soon! This is where we review
the past year and elect the new committee for 2006/2007. As well as this, the
AGM is the only time the society's constitution can be altered.

The positions currently available on the committee are Chair, Secretary,
Treasurer, Mens Officer, Womens Officer, Trans Officer, Events Officer,
International Officer and Communications Officer. You can read more about these
roles here: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/union/socs/lgb/committee.html

For anybody interested in standing for a position on the committee we will be
running an information workshop on Thursday 16th February in the ARC at 8pm,
after which we'll be heading down to Mission to de-stress if anyone wants to
join us!

To run for a position you will need to write a short manifesto detailing your
reasons for wanting to be on the committee. This will need to be emailed to us
by 12noon on Friday 24th February. Help writing manifestos will be available at
the meeting on 16th if needed.

The society's current constitution is a set of guidelines to ensure the good
running of the society. It can be read here:

The AGM presents members with the opportunity to add to, change or remove any
part of the constitution after a vote. Again, we need people to email any
proposed changes to us by 12noon on Friday 24th February.

The actual AGM will take place on Thursday 2nd March in the ARC at 7pm. It will
be chaired by current society chair Alison and gives you the chance to both get
involved with and make a difference to the running of your society. As well as
elections for the new committee and constitutional ammendments the current
committee are also required to make reports of the last year.

After the AGM we will again be heading down to Mission (we love that place!) to
unwind and congratulate the new committee.
