The document provides information for the Youth Community Outreach club elections for 2012-2014, outlining the responsibilities and requirements for officer positions including treasurer, secretary, communications director, and service hour director. It also describes the voting process and expectations for candidates and members. The goal is to elect officers who will provide continuity and sustainability to the club for their two-year terms.

1. YOUTH COMMUNITY
OUTREACH OFFICER
ELECTIONS 2012-2014
Two years!
Good luck to all those running!

2. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF
THE PEOPLE RUNNING
 They understand what is required of them once they get elected
(next slide)
 They are truly interested in both YCO and China.
 They want to serve for two years (unless they’re graduating).
 They are responsible.

3. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF
THE ELECTED OFFICERS
 Recommended: They go to Henan, China for the service trip
(more information on that later)
 Mandatory: They go to 3 outings in the next 6 months
 They are truly interested in making the club better
 They are willing to lead and/or take on roles

4. WHY 2 YEARS?
YCO’s elections are for TWO YEARS because we want
CONTINUITY and SUSTAINABILITY.
However, there is a VERY BIG CHANCE (hint hint) that we will
open more officer positions NEXT YEAR (2012-2013)

5. TREASURER
 Knows how much money we have
 Collects receipts for places we spent money on
 Makes an accurate account of every single dollar we gain/spend

6. DEEPTI VARATHAN, 10
As treasurer, I can contribute
experience and ideas. As this is a
new club, I think having a couple
of people who have experience is
essential. As treasurer of another
club, I not only know how to do
the job, but I can contribute
essential ideas to help it run
smoothly.

7. KITTY LALWANI, 9
I am very good with numbers and
money in general. When I was
younger one of the math
assignments was where you had a
check book to buy things in class
with and at the end of the year you
had to balance the checkbook.
Mine was balanced perfectly.

8. CHRIS PANG, 9
I am the best candidate for
treasurer for many reasons. One is
I’m a good techie. I plan to keep
all receipts and expenditures
accounted for digitally on my
computer. And the main reason is
that I love money. And no money
will be going anywhere without my
permission.

9. SECRETARY
 Takes many notes
 Reports during the next meeting of what we
discussed/accomplished the previous meeting and during outings

10. YE JIN JEON, 9
As secretary, I'm sure I can bring a
little organization into the club. I
take good, through notes, and I
can make sure to have them with
me at the next meeting. I can also
be sure to be at every meeting,
including the officer only
meetings. Thank you!

11. SHREYA DOSHI, 9
As the secretary of this club, I will
fully support the Club needs and
buy any necessary decor for this
times event "Chinese New Year".
Posters with good prosperous
sayings, some lanterns and even
some good old Chinese candy for
the new year.

12. COMMUNICATIONS
DIRECTOR
 Contacts the SAS office to tell them to put meeting reminders on
the bulletin when necessary
 Communicate with Pertapis, 18 Chefs etc. other outing sites
 Sends out email reminders to members

13. AIKO VAPOR, 9
I can contribute by contacting
members with reminders and the
office to put out reminders on
the bulletin when needed. I'm very
neat, organized and responsible. I
understand that this is a big
responsibility and I will commit all
time and effort that I can to this
club. Thank you!

14. TOORJO MISHRA, 9
I think I would make the perfect
communications director, as I speak
very clearly and make things easy to
understand. I have loads of time on my
hands to put meeting reminders on the
bulletin when necessary communicate
with Pertapis, 18 Chefs, Sends out
email reminders and any other simple
jobs!

15. SERVICE HOUR DIRECTOR
 Makes an accurate account of the service hours each member has
in the club
 Attend (mandatory, though there may be occasionally one
exception) all outings and meetings

16. DANIEL BIEKER, 10
If I am elected Service Hour Director,
I will be fully responsible in attending
all meetings and outings, including the
service trip this summer. I will dedicate
however much time will be necessary in
order to maintain an accurate account
of the amount of service hours club
members have contributed.

17. BALLOTS
 At the elections, you will have a paper in front of you with all the
runners’ names. Circle, underline, highlight etc. the person’s name
who you would like to vote for for each spot.
 Remember to NOT vote on popularity but on who you think will
really do the best job.
