Apply for a committee head position

If you're new to the group or to the community, you should probably visit us for a few meetings to get to know us better. But if you know who and what we are and want to take a leadership role, consider applying for one of the three open committee head positions:

Creating public awareness in the community and university of issues relating to SpeakOut’s goals.

Establishing a media presence and contacts.

Creating connections and allies within the community and the university.

Networking with progressive organizations both on and off campus.

Obtaining information on other progressive events.

Networking with other campuses/universities.

Reaching out to allies and those who are currently apathetic toward issues relevant to SpeakOut.

Expansion, responsible for:

Developing rewards and incentives—within the university structure and within SpeakOut for being progressive.

Educating the membership on political activism and campus activities.

Researching community and university issues and reporting possible areas for improvement to organization.
