WHAT IS “COMMITTEE RENEWAL”?
Every year, the SPMS Club undergoes Committee Renewal, in which we designate some of the 🌟brightest🌟, the most 🎉talented🎉, and the most 💯motivated💯 students to positions in the Management Committee and Subcommittees of the SPMS Club! Here, they can influence school policy, bring about positive change for the student body, advocate for your collective interests, all while planning exciting events!
There are three important stages in the renewal process: Election and By-Election, Co-option, and Recruitment. Scroll down to learn more!
MANAGEMENT
COMMITTEE
ELECTION
✅Completed✅
See the Election section!
This process comes first.
The Management Committee is comprised of many important roles. Each role can be distinguished as an elected role, or a co-opted role.
As its name implies, elected roles are occupied by students who are elected by the student body to a position in the Management Committee. These positions are either within the Top 5 or are Directorial.
If elected into the Top 5, one holds a position which oversees the general administration of the SPMS Club.
If elected to a Directorial position, one reports to the Top 5, and generally has charge of an Assistant Director and a Subcommittee.
MANAGEMENT
COMMITTEE
BY-ELECTION
✅Completed✅
See the By-Election section!
This process comes second.
Elected positions which are left unfilled during the initial election will be re-opened for by-election.
If all positions are filled in the initial election, then no by-election is held.
MANAGEMENT
COMMITTEE
CO-OPTION
❗️Now open❗️
See the Co-option Section!
This process comes next.
The Management Committee is comprised of many important roles. Each role can be distinguished as an elected role, or a co-opted role.
At the conclusion of the election process, a partial Management Committee is formed and begins the co-option process to interview and co-opt more students into the Management Committee, where they will either hold the position of Assistant Director or Representative.
SUB
COMMITTEE
RECRUITMENT
❌Not open yet❌
Stay tuned!
This process comes last.
The SPMS Club is comprised of 7 Subcommittees which are led by the Directors in the Management Committee.
At the conclusion of the election and co-option processes, the full Management Committee is formed and begins to recruit students to form the respective Subcommittees.
Following an interview process by a Director, students can be accepted into a Subcommittee as a Subcommittee Member.
These Subcommittees assist in planning and executing events to make SPMS a fun, vibrant, and inclusive environment!
