The AGM is upon us once more. Open to all Rare FM members, (please send your apologies if you cannot attend, especially as our FM period will be discussed at this meeting - click here for contact details), this is your chance to stand and be elected, or vote on who is elected, for next academic year's committee.

If you are interested in standing for any of the committee positions, they are as follows:...

President/Station Manager
Treasurer
Head of Music
Head of Programming
Chief Engineer
Website Manager
Events Officer
Marketing Team

You may stand for more than one position. Voting will take place in the order shown above and if you are not elected for one position, you may stand for another later in the meeting. For example, you may wish to stand for Head of Music, fail to become elected and then stand for Website Manager. However, think carefully about which position(s) you are best suited for.

At the meeting, you will be expected to give a two minute speech to explain why you think you should be elected. You will then be expected to answers any questions from the members present.
