Hi posties!
I need to draw your attention to two very important dates:
Nominations to the 2013 PSA Committee close 5pm THURSDAY 18TH OCTOBER
Applications for the Leadership Award close 5pm FRIDAY 19TH OCTOBER
Committee nominations: If you’re thinking about nominating for a position, be sure to email me by the closing time and date. If you don’t nominate prior to that time, and someone else nominates for that position, we will not be taking nominations from the floor at the AGM (this is written into the Constitution). The other benefit to nominating now, is that any absentee voters will only be able to vote on people who nominate by the closing date.
You can see the position info on the website (http://sponsored.uwa.edu.au/psa/elections_for_2013/position_info), and I’m also putting up nominees names as I get them.

Leadership Award: The physical copies of the nomination form and referee reports must be in my office by this Friday. Not email, not in internal mail – in my office. I will be checking the PSA pigeon hole in Guild Student Reception at 5pm. Anything left there after I’ve checked it cannot be accepted.
Absentee voting: If you can’t make it to the AGM, you can still vote. Email psa@guild.uwa.edu.au to register for an absentee vote. Absentee voting opens on the 19th of October and closes 5pm on the 25th of October. If you lodge an absentee vote, you cannot vote at the AGM. You will receive a list of the nominees for each position and their candidate statement (if included).
The AGM is on Friday the 26th of October, from 5.30pm, Arts Lecture Room 5. We will have a sundowner at the Club with drinks and nibbles afterwards! Please come, it’s important to have your say on what your committee looks like!
The cocktail party is on the 2nd of November, 7.30pm, at the Llama Bar. I’m working hard to get tickets finalised!
