This week has been very full of meetings to kick start a lot of the initiatives Tim and I will be working on throughout the year, one big meeting took place between Lance Tackett, the Secretary of Special Committees, Tim Ernst, Allan Blattner in Housing and me. We talked about some of our plans for the SGA Voter Registration Drive. Lance has experience running such voter registration drives from his previous school UC Santa Barbra so I’m pumped to see what we’ll be able to do.
Over the summer SGA will be preparing packs for RAs to distribute during move-in which will include a note from SGA and some voter registration cards. SGA representatives will be at as many RA hall meetings as possible to present a united front but we can’t be at all the meetings. Hopefully we’ll be able to get at least 3,000+ people registered. In last years Mecklenburg County election only around 22,000 people voted. So even 3,000 voters can make a big difference.
