AGSEM General Assembly (TAs and Invigilators) - Election of the AGSEM Mobilization Officer

The next combined TAs and Invigilators general assembly is on January 25, 2021, for the purpose of holding an election for the Mobilization Officer position of the AGSEM Executive Committee, elected for a term ending April 30, 2021. This GA will happen just after the delegates' council and the Invigilators' Assembly so this GA is expected to start at 6:30pm.  If you currently work or have worked as a TA in the last 12 months or as an invigilator at any point since May 1, 2019, you are entitled to attend, speak, and vote at this assembly; however, since this is an online assembly, we require you to register in advance.

You are also invited to submit any topic of discussion or motion to adopt that you wish, simply by emailing the chair at president@agsem-aeedem.ca, up to 24 hours before the start of the meeting.

Registration is necessary to attend the meeting, and the meeting information and agenda will be sent to those who register in advance. Registration will be open until January 24 at 5:30PM, 24hrs in advance of the meeting. We will follow up with registrants for whom we do not have a signed AGSEM membership form.
