I want to run for election!

Candidature booklet for GA Fall 2024 will be avaiable here on the 8th of November:

That’s great! It’s highly recommended to send in a candidate presentation in advance, in both Norwegian and English. A candidate presentation in the case files will help strengthen your candidacy. In the presentation, you’ll write a little about yourself and your qualifications, and please add a photo so people can see who you are. If you want inspiration for how it’s done, you can find previous presentations in old GA papers in the GA-archives. All candidate presentations are to be sent to valgnemnda@samfunnetiaas.no . Remember to add a photo.

From there, you’ll go on to the general assembly and speaking on stage in Aud.max. When it’s your turn to present, you’ll get up to two minutes to introduce yourself. Prepare a short appeal, only your imagination is the limit. After the presentation, we eill open for questions from the room.
