Interest meeting!
So we had our first interest meeting today in the Sadler Center's James Room. Except for the fact that I did not prepare any specific speech and felt ridiculous as I did my usual spiel of words, I think we got some pretty cool people.
Out of the 14 or so people there, a good many had had Model Congress experience before, and most had been familiarized with Robert's Rules of Order.
After a quick briefing on what our club was about, we went into some descriptions of positions available such as conference leadership positions and committee chairmanships and then broke into groups to discuss those positions further.
The treasurer also discussed club dues, which will be in the amount of $5 this year and should be paid fairly soon. The executive staff felt this was a good number given the fees that we would have to incur on ourselves throughout the course of the year.
Those in attendance were the Treasurer, the executive directors of the Conference, along with myself. The vice-president was unfortunately unable to attend due to a Student Assembly meeting that was going on at the same time.
I'd also like to note that we are now officially part of the William and Mary website under the government department directory! You can find us on the WM website here.
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all the new members of the club, and would like to say that William and Mary Model Congress is glad to see people interested in keeping the tradition alive and well at the College of William and Mary. Looks like we'll be having one heck of a year!
Signing off for now,
