SBA Class Director Elections Info!

[SBA]

2Ls! I hope your semester is off to a great start. The Student Bar Association (SBA) is looking for motivated leaders to be 2L SBA Directors for the Class of 2020.

SBA is composed of 4 Directors from each class and 1 LLM Director, as well as alternate Directors. Alternate Directors positions are offered to students who do not receive the plurality of the votes. Alternate Directors are official class directors, however, an Alternate Director votes in meetings only when an elected Director is absent.

SBA Directors are representatives of the law school student body and must be available to attend bi-monthly SBA meetings. Directors manage the law school's mandatory student activity fee by voting in meetings and create budget policies that oversee the allocation of these student funds to law school student groups, as well as supervise the official calendar of law school student events and activities. Additionally, Directors have the power to problem solve and implement initiatives in all different areas of student life in order to promote the general welfare of the entire law school student body.

If you are interested, please pick up a petition from the SBA bulletin board located by the SBA office on the 2nd Floor (next to the Law Library). They will be available Tuesday, September 4th.

ALL petitions for ALL director positions are due on Friday, September 7th at 5pm, to the SBA office and/or an SBA E-Board member. Campaigning will take place on Monday, September 10th and Tuesday, September 11th. Students will then vote for their student directors via an online email link on Wednesday, September 12th and Thursday, September 13th.

If you have any reservations please ask questions. If you need any clarifications about being a Director or about SBA please let me or any other E-Board member know. Emails are listed below:

Kevin Southern (President) – kls47@buffalo.edu

Abisha Vijayashanthar (Vice-President) – abishavi@buffalo.edu
