Chapter Elections

Tennessee Federalist Society will hold its chapter elections Wednesday, March 1, 2006. Yes, that's just over a week from now, so start your political scheming now! We will elect eight new officers under the new Constitution: President, Vice President of Membership, Vice President of Logistics, Vice President of Programming, Treasurer, Media Relations Chair, and Social Chair. You may view descriptions of the elected positions here. If you already know what you want to run for, you may submit a Statement of Intent (download available at our TWEN site) and even have information published about your candicacy on our website. Workload for these positions is not very heavy, but we do need dedicated students to keep Federalist Society's renaissance on track. Remember, the more people we have to help out, the less workload is on any one person. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
