**ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MADders running for exco are required to come up with a speech to address your fellow MADders during the elections process. it doesn't need to be terribly long, if you prefer, just a short, impactful one will do. mention whatever you'd like your MADders to hear or know about yourselves, e.g. why you are running for exco, what you can and will do for MAD, what problems you'll address etc etc.
NEXT FRIDAY (30/5) will be the ELECTIONS DAY. it will be a day of speeches, interviews, and showcasing of choreos, and YES, it WILL be a long day. in the event that it drags too late, we will require you guys to keep
Saturday morning (31/5) FREE to finish your interview/showcase. sorry about that. :x
JUNIORS WHO WILL NOT BE IN SINGAPORE ON EITHER OF THESE DAYS, please please let your division heads know ASAP. preferably as soon as you read this. we will make the necessary arrangements for you guys as long as you still want to run for exco. :) DON'T WORRY you won't miss out just because you're flying somewhere! :D
so, as a gentle reminder, PLEASE REMEMBER TO DECIDE what you want to run for by MONDAY, and get your SPEECHES and CHOREOGRAPHY (for div head wannabes) READY by FRIDAY! i know it's quite a rush for you guys, BUT we believe you can do it!
