<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Our spring General Body Meeting will be the evening of
<b>April 5th from 5:00-7:00 PM ET</b>. 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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The same rules apply as for a normal GBM: FSILGs, undergrad and graduate dorms, and club sports may attend if they wish to
<b>but are not required to do so</b>. 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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">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 and for you to elect the next batch of ASA board
members to represent you, so attendance from as many groups as possible is preferred. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
