The Executive Committee is elected by ECSA members (all ENCS students) in March of each year. The Executive holds office for one year. All decisions are made by a majority vote (50% +1). As suggested by U of A professor Dr. Colin Soskolne, the ECSA will strive to incorporate the 4 pillars of The Earth Charter in all its functions.
The Executive duties are detailed in the ECSA Constitution.
In addition to the Executive Committee, there are also smaller committees for the purpose of running various branches of the ECSA.
At present, ideas for standing committees are:
- Academic (e.g. degree program concentration coordinators)
- Social (e.g. guest speaker coordination, movie night, open mic night)
- Fundraising (VP Finance)
- Merchandise (VP Finance)
- Office Hours (to help increase availability of office resources) (VP Internal)
- Advertising (design-savvy computer people!) (VP Campus Communication)
- Newsletter (VP Campus Communication)
- Career/Volunteer Fair (VP External)
These are the people in our Executive Committee
