[committee] SOC/Tenancy Updates

[Alexie Wallace]

Hello,

I am looking through some of the upcoming dates for the Societies Council and for Tenancy, and it appears as though the dates listed on the Guild's website may need to be updated, such as the Semester 2 SPG deadline. It is my understanding the Semester 2 deadline is this evening, however the Guild's website is still listing the deadline as August 5th. If someone could please confirm this for me that would be appreciated!

A second date I am concerned about is the next tenancy meeting. When I checked the Guild website earlier this week, it had stated it was to be held Wednesday, August 12 at 5:30pm. I have been advised this has moved to next Monday, with the notice for this provided only through a private Facebook group on Tuesday of this week.

We have had a number of members from our club now request that tenancy can provide notice for these meetings (and/or changes in date) via email to club executives, as it seems that the notice given for the meeting next Monday was less than a week...and it is unclear what the agenda is for the next meeting. Could the guild please take care to notify club executives of changes in these dates by email?

Restricting important communications regarding upcoming meetings and updates about Tenancy/SOC to a private Facebook group restricted to club presidents does not appear to be in line with Guild's stated desire to increase transparency. Not everyone wishes to use or rely on Facebook for important communications, and this decision to restrict information causes issues when the President/VP of a club is unwell or busy.

Would someone from Guild/SOC/Tenancy could please confirm if the dates listed on the following pages are accurate?

Thank you for your hard work - this is of course a difficult year for all...but we know clearer communication can help us work through this. If an email has in fact been sent, but I have somehow missed it, please let me know.

Cheers
