Do I have to run for any office to be on this board?
Not to be in the organization, only to be the President, actually called ‘Programming Chair" who is concurrently the VP of SGA. Committees do have a chair, but for this first year there will not be elections for those as we are in a growing phase.

Do I have to be a member of SGA to be on this board?
No!

How much of my time will this take?
In total most of you would contribute 1 hour per week with an occasional event that adds an hour per month. The Programming Chair would contribute more because of his/her role as VP of SGA and need to coordinate CAB meetings with the Director of SA.

Why would I want to be involved in this?
It's a great resume builder. You'll have a ton of fun. You get to see what it's like to be in the shoes of a Director of Student Activities. You'll learn how to manage a budget, read and sign off on a contract, be a leader and plan an event from the ground up. You will have a say in what trips, artists, events, movies etc. come to campus.
