Why are the house council meetings so long?
Because you live at a house with no concept of time. Some house councils are long, some aren’t. Some houses struggle to get their members to talk, so if your house council seems long, first appreciate the fact that your membership cares about the issues it’s discussing before approaching your president to discuss how your meetings are managed. Nobody likes to waste time, so if you feel like things are lengthy for no reason, talk to the managers/president. It might be the case that your house should be discussing everything it is in order to make everyone feel heard and welcome in the house. Short meetings might reduce communication, which is never good. Ask your president to use the skills they learned in training to keep meetings efficient, but open and welcoming to all concerns. Also ask your managers if they could be more available so that more problems could be solved outside of meetings with the appropriate managers.
