SASLCK Board Bulletin W elcome to the first edition of the Student Association Board Bulletin! The purpose of this section will be to promote communication between YOU as student owners of our association and the elected Board of Directors. This bulletin is just one part of a Linkage Plan that includes polls, focus groups and information tables in the cafeteria. The Board is now six months into our term of service, so there are a number of decisions that have been made and much has happened in the Student Association universe. Today’s Bulletin will focus on highlights from our monthly meetings with a reminder that you can access information and Board Meeting minutes at http://savoiceslc.com/government/. • May featured the first meeting of the new Board with a focus on learning about the student governance model. Other highlights included transferring signing authority to our Chair Scarlett Berry and Secretary Cadence Gillis.
