Membership | UVa Student Council

Membership Chair

The Membership Chair oversees programs and events to engage Student Council members within their own committees and with the organization as a whole. Plans for the year thus far are monthly community service activities and maintaining new Membership Guidelines. Each committee meets as a group to discuss expectations of the membership; however, the Council has a foundation for the guidelines:

All members must attend at least one general body meeting per semester, preferably one in which his/her committee is presenting.

All members must attend all committee/subcommittee meetings and events.

If there is a conflict you must tell your chair in advance – acceptable reasons include class, illness, etc.

If a meeting is missed, meeting minutes need to be read and the member is expected to contribute as necessary.

Within committees, members are expected to aid in the organization of projects and initiatives.

All members are expected to keep an active role on Student Council within their committees and the broader organization.

All guidelines are subject to the interpretation to the Committee chairs, Membership chair, and Executive board.
