Meeting will be the evening of </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">April 5th from 5:00-7:00 PM ET</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.
We will send out an agenda including any documents to review before the meeting and Zoom link at least one week before that date. The new ASA board will be elected at this meeting, so if you are interested in who will be leading student advocacy for student
groups next year, it’s important to attend to have a voice!</span></p>

for a normal GBM: FSILGs, graduate dorms, and club sports may attend if they wish to
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">but are not required to do so</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.
ASA groups are still required to send one member per group, but you may represent as many groups as you like, and each attendee can only exercise one vote. </span></p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We recognize that there
will inevitably be groups that have no members who can attend: understanding how crazy life is right now, we’d like to avoid any situation where groups get penalized for not attending the GBM, so there will be online make-up resources with all critical information.
However, this is an important time for the ASA and SOLE to hear directly from groups about what issues are going on so we know where we can provide support or advocate for more resources, so attendance from as many groups as possible is preferred. </span></p>
