How to become a senator outside election season?
Senators are very important in our group. They represent the interests of members, participate in everyday business of I-CAN, and cast votes for important issues. To become a senator is simple. We also recruit senators outside election season, which is specially designed for new students. But members who are not new students and express high interests in joining also qualify. The interested member needs to give a written introduction of oneself to the Board and to deliver a short self-introduction to other leaders in the regular senate meeting. He/she will be expected to complete a senator’s duty in that year. Duties include: 1) Attend at least 50% of the regular Executive Board meetings. We have only 6 meetings in the year (one/school month, no meetings in the breaks and finals week). Every meeting lasts strictly one hour. So minimal 3 hours in a year. 2) Be a volunteer (such as photographer, making flyers, or making summary webpage, etc) in three different activities or chair one act
