Assembly elections

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Isobel Falconer, Saturday, 20 Mar 2010, 14:13

We've got a great lot of candidates for the AL Assembly elections - so that's my first worry over.

Next major challenge is to get people to vote. It's really important we have a good turnout in the elections, otherwise we won't have credibility with the university.

We've got a forum going where people can ask questions of the candidates and find out about them, so they can decide who to vote for - but at present it's largely full of candidates talking to each other, with few disinterested ALs in there.

Anything people can do to encourage others to vote - or ideas for things we can do - greatly appreciated.

All quiet - fingers crossed

Visible to anyone in the world

After a frantic day on Friday, ironing out glitches with the new AL representation website as it went live, things have quietened down, and all is going smoothly - fingers crossed.

Nominations for the Assembly open today. I've spent my spare time in the last several days drafting nomination forms, clear (I hope) guides to the election process, encouraging letters, etc, etc, as well as working through the implications for region/nation committees and what they do now.

In between I've been for a gruelling walk along the Fife coast (lots of cormorants, eider ducks, oyster catchers), to clear my head, and frantically trying to write an overdue paper on learning design that I've promised for a journal - oh yes, and planning A825 day school activities.
