Winners, Leaders, Members, Minutes...
Hi Everyone! I hope you’re all looking forward to the end of term… even though for most of you that means the start of exam season...
So, in keeping with the last 5 (or so) newsletters I have to start with…

If you attended the event, or just want to leave some feedback for the SU in general, our Members and Leaders Survey is now available.
Your experience of being part of a student group means a lot to us and your feedback is important for us to be able to help shape future students’ experience. If you are a committee member please follow this link and fill out the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/JT76RJQ?test=[test_value
If you are a member of a student group, please follow this link and fill out the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/JNLRZ87.
Completers of the survey can be entered into prize draw to win £100 cash! There will also be a prize draw for a student group to win £100 subs money!
The survey will take you around 10 minutes to complete and your responses will be anonymous.
The survey is split into 3 sections; Volunteering, Societies and Student Media. You only need to complete the sections that are relevant to you. You will automatically be taken to the correct section.
If you're involved in a Sports Club there will be a separate survey for you to complete, which will be sent out by QMSU Sport.
AGM’s and Minutes
You should be well up-to-date on all things AGM and handover-y, but in case you aren’t…
Now is the time to organise the future of your society. Hold either an online or anonymous paper ballot election to elect the new committee, follow our handy checklist on what to include in a handover, and host an AGM to make any big and important announcements. All the information you need can be found here. But please remember, if nothing else, to minute your AGM’s and submit the minutes to us at su-societies@qmul.ac.uk. If you have any queries about the AGM, email us at that address and put AGM in the subject line.
Well, it’s a short and sweet one folks! Happy Holidays.
Love, Sarah x
