Our Structure…

There are two types of membership: Programming Board & General Body.

Programming Board members have successfully applied to the organization and received an offer to join one of our 6 committees. Internal members are expected to attend GBMs (General Body Meetings), committee meetings, and execute tailored responsibilities and tasks.
