EWB Constitution Changes
by Elena Anne Marty van Hove 11 Nov '17

11 Nov '17

Dear EWB Purdue members, The executive officers would like to formally propose a new Constitution. Please read the proposed version here. Next Saturday, November 18th, there will be an online approval vote sent out for this version of the Constitution. For the Constitution to pass two-thirds of active members will have to vote to approve it. Active members have been redefined as dues paying members that are either EWB-EPICS registered members or students who have attended two-thirds of the semester meetings before the vote, and have attended at least four meetings. Once a Constitution is passed by the chapter, SAO (Student Activities and Organizations Office) will have to approve the document. We will present on the proposed Constitution changes again on Monday. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself or any of the other executive officers. Thank you for your patience in the process. Best, Elena Elena van Hove EWB Purdue President Electrical Engineering Purdue University evanhove(a)purdue.edu

EWB Week 12
by Shawn Edward Makulec 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

Hey everyone! In this week's email: * Officer elections have been postponed * Info on our next team social event * The plan for the 11/6 meeting Officer elections have been postponed to week 14. As we have reviewed the proposed constitution with the chapter, several points have been raised regarding our integration with EPICS and need to be addressed. We cannot have elections before the chapter has approved the new constitution, especially because officer roles are redefined in the proposed constitution. To allow the chapter the appropriate amount of time to review these changes, we are going to hold the vote during the week 14 Monday meeting. Nominations will remain open for the extended deadline. Our next team social event is officially Winterization on Saturday, November 11th! We've participated in Winterization for the past several years, and it's always a great chance to make an impact on our local community while getting to know each other better. More information about Winterization is here<https://www.purduewinterization.org/>, and the link to register is here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc7Hcrm6glFmIjF05V05G3wLsNzPW9FeVE…>. Make sure to include in the registration form that you're part of the Engineers Without Borders group, and register for the second wave. Program selection is ready to present their recommended community during our meeting this Monday, which will be at 6:00 PM in ARMS B098. A lot of hard work has gone into coming up with this recommendation, as our chapter will work with our next community partners for at least five years. The new member design team will also be meeting Monday night, as they have for the past several weeks. Here's <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=k6adasfa5cutbnmsfkr76qvcuk%4…> the link to our team calendar. That's all! I'll see everyone on Monday at the meeting.

Officer Elections
by Shawn Edward Makulec 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Hello everyone! It's that time of the semester-- officer elections. Elections will be held next Monday (11/6) during the chapter meeting. All members who have paid dues are eligible to vote in the election. Nominations are going to be open from tonight through Friday morning at 10:00 AM. After nominations close, everyone who has been nominated will be notified and can accept or decline the nomination. Members who choose to accept the nomination will need to send me a paragraph on why they believe they are the best candidate, and will speak briefly at the Monday 11/6 meeting. Please note that accepting a nomination for an officer position means agreeing to enroll in EWB-EPICS next semester, and that only members with previous EWB-Purdue leadership experience can run for executive positions. Positions are a single semester commitment, and seniors with one semester left are eligible to run for positions. Here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_uga1_lDiP4UHZ_JL2qMGxnd6xlC5en3wEt_qFw…> is the link to the officer responsibilities document, and here <https://goo.gl/forms/NigjuXDSgIAtKgdE3> is the link to the nominations survey. Thanks, Shawn Makulec

EWB Week 11
by Shawn Edward Makulec 27 Oct '17

27 Oct '17

Hello all! This week: * A survey from the executive officers * New structure changes for next semester. This affects everyone in the club! It's long but important * Officer changes, and elections are in less than two weeks: Monday 11/6! * The plan for Monday's meeting * A link to the team calendar The executive officers have a survey for all EWB-Purdue members to fill out as part of the transitions explained below. Everyone, please fill out the survey here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tji0EtBPnT3ekwDBwE1N8qDoOgCOwJgATx0g2Wiylc…> by the Monday 10/30 meeting. This semester, our executive officers and advisors have been hard at work devising a new structure for EWB-Purdue. As some of you may know, this semester we tried a different structure for the team, with the understanding that we would form a more permanent structure before adopting a new program. The changes have been approved by our officers and advisors, and will go into effect for the Spring '18 semester. This structure will remain in place for the next five years (the minimum length of a program commitment). Here <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ckIxXsxZwmbHROcWQ4NkNfM2c/view?usp=shari…> is a link to the latest version of our updated constitution, which I recommend you all read. The highlights are as follows: * All returning EWB members will enroll in EPICS. This means that in a given semester, anyone who wants to return to EWB will need to be enrolled in EPICS for at least one credit. (Anyone of any major is able and encouraged to join EPICS.) Members new to the EPICS team will need to fill out an application. * Officers will form the leadership design team, and will receive EPICS credit for fulfilling their roles as expressed in the officer responsibilities document here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_uga1_lDiP4UHZ_JL2qMGxnd6xlC5en3wEt_qFw…>. Several officer positions have changed-- there is more info on this below. * We are continuing the program where first-semester members will work on small-scale design projects, as they have this semester. * Our chapter will use Google Drive for all semester work and EPICS notebooks, following a set template and organizational structure. All documents considered important will be backed up on the team SharePoint at least twice a semester. I'm sure many of you will have questions about this. Feel free to speak to or email any of the executive officers, and we will be more than happy to go over things. This was just a general overview-- there is considerably more detail in the constitution. We'll also go over this during the Monday 10/30 meeting. Alongside these structure changes: officer elections will be happening during the Monday 11/6 meeting! Nominations will open Monday 10/30 and run through Friday 11/3. (Look for a separate email on Monday about nominations.) Part of our structure change includes different officer positions. Key points: * Executive officers will now be the President, Vice-President, Project Manager, and Treasurer. * The rest of the leadership team will include the Media/Webmaster and Event/Fundraising Organizer for a total of six positions. All officers must be EPICS members. * All of these positions except Project Manager (and design leads) will be elected, as in the past. * Grants will be handled by grant writers within each design team, as grant writing requires project-specific knowledge. * Responsibilities for all of these positions are in the officer responsibilities document here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_uga1_lDiP4UHZ_JL2qMGxnd6xlC5en3wEt_qFw…>. Several of our officers are going on study abroad next semester. This means there will be quite a few officer positions with no one running for reelection-- if you're interested in EWB and want to move up, this is a good time to apply. Executive positions are only open to students already in EWB leadership roles, but the other positions are open to anyone! (You should know that our advisors do get final approval on all officers.) This Monday 10/30, we will be meeting as usual in ARMS B098 from 6:00PM - 8:00PM. We'll have an update on the structure changes above, and then the team will be meeting in committees. After committee meetings, we'll be splitting up into the new member design projects and EPICS teams. Here's <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=k6adasfa5cutbnmsfkr76qvcuk%4…> our team calendar, like usual. That's everything! I'll see you all on Monday at the meeting.
