News Dear Members,
Dear members, Dear members,
PLEASE SEND ALL VOTES TO plsyvote@gmail.com, IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT: Your name, student number President: Your choice VP: Your choice Treasurer: Your choice Keep in mind that candidates can campaign for up to two positions but you may only chose them ONCE. Only registered members may vote. ELECTIONS 2011/2012 Post: PRESIDENT Candidate name: Ana Navabi Campaign paragraph: The varying executive positions I have held at York in the past three years make me a great candidate for the position of presidency as I am familiar with the tasks and responsibilities for each position as well as the goals of the club. I am aware of the availabilities and benefits York offers for its clubs. My most recent experience as the promotions coordinator of the prelaw club has given me insight to the goals and objectives of that club that I can use to better run, maintain, develop and improve the club programs. As the president my first priority will be to run the Mock LSATs during the summer. Secondly, I will begin “personal statement” building workshops. Thirdly I will introduce new opportunities for members to engage in the club. I’ll be living on campus this summer and next year which makes me accessible and available to host summer events and meetings to plan ways of improving the club. I have many new ideas and plans that will bring much success to the overall goals of the club! Post: PRESIDENT Candidate name: Sana Alibux Campaign paragraph: I am writing to submit my candidacy for the President position for the York University Pre-Law society. My interest in this position stems from my desire to participate in broadening our collective understanding of the legal world and to contribute to the growth of our organization. As the President of the Pre-Law society I hope to implement or assist with the following initiatives along with adopting our current mandate: · Organize a trip to the Ontario Human Rights Commission office to get a better understanding of the day to day lives of those working with the commission · Invite guest lecturers to discuss the legal profession · Organize a range of social activities for members · Collaborate with the York Debating Society and York Model United Nations group for debates on legal and social issues · Coordinate mock LSAT review sessions. In sum, I believe I can contribute to the further development of our organization. Post: PRESIDENT Candidate name: Ryan Wardle Campaign paragraph: Hi everyone, I’m Ryan and I am running for President of the Pre Law Society. Over the past year, I have had the privilege of serving as the Sponsorship Coordinator with an experienced executive team, and have been an active member in the club for 2 years. If elected, I will bring a high degree of professionalism, integrity and leadership to this prestigious organization. My credentials include vast experience in attracting corporate sponsorship, overseeing executive budgets, and developing and supervising club events. As an elected executive, I plan to continue to place a strong emphasis on LSAT preparation, specifically offering support for students writing during the June and October sessions. Furthermore, I will seek collaboration with several clubs around the York community, with an intention of expanding opportunities for our members. It would be both an honour and pleasure to work with you all in the upcoming year! Post: VICE PRESIDENT Candidate name: Ana Navabi Campaign paragraph: At times, the Vice president of the club has greater responsibilities than the president. The vice president must ensure that everything in the club is going accordingly to the ways decided by the executives and the members and should anything be lacking, the vice president must identify the issue or problem and formulate solutions. As I have been the vice president of another club at York I am aware and experienced of the potential challenges and difficulties that arise in group settings. I have been responsible for running meetings and assigning task to 12 other executives. I organized many events and had to go through many processes to get funding from York, and book rooms for events through YFS or sign up to run a table through SCLD. I am a leader and my familiar with York policies and opportunities, I would best utilize the availabilities and recourses that are offered. Post: VICE PRESIDENT Candidate name: Ryan Wardle Campaign paragraph: Hi everyone, I’m Ryan and I am also running for Vice President of the Pre Law Society. My experience as the Sponsorship Coordinator this academic year equips me with the tools and experience needed to be an effective Vice President. I would work over the summer to create, develop, and build on events this year generating a more beneficial experience to our members. As an executive team member this year, and an active member for the past two, I have developed a strong understanding of how the Pre Law Society operates. With this knowledge, it would not be a problem for me to assume presidential duties in the absence of the president. My primary objective as the vice president would be to attract new corporate sponsors and develop new and exciting events for our members. I look forward to meeting and working for all of you in the upcoming year! Post: VICE PRESIDENT Candidate name: Roshan Udit Campaign paragraph: My name is Roshan Udit and I am currently a third year student majoring in Criminology. It is my desire to attend law school upon completion of my B.A. I joined PLSY in my second year with hopes of bettering my chance of admittance to law school. Accordingly, this organization has provided me with guidance necessary to achieve success in this journey. I have thus been able to strengthen my social and academic life. With this in mind, I feel that it is my conglomerate to support PLSY members in acquiring the same goal. The position of Vice President will best allow me to do so. A Promise: If elected as Vice President, I assure you with immense confidence that if opportunities are given to me, I will dedicate myself to work towards the betterment of this organization. Post: VICE PRESIDENT Candidate name: Michael Lipson Campaign paragraph: If I were elected, I would like to arrange for prominent lawyers to speak and provide students with advice in many different law categories to give students the chance to get a better feel for what life as a lawyer would entail. I would also like to arrange mock LSAT tests, so members can have a chance to write the test in regular LSAT conditions, as a means of preparations for the big day. Regular meetings, social gatherings, and discussions would also be part of my contribution, as we can simply enjoy the company of our fellow students discussing current trials throughout the world.Lastly, I would like to arrange for current law students to come in regularly and give their tips about how to get into the law school of your choice. If you vote for me, I will do my best to accommodate everyone’s needs and requests. Happy voting! Post: VICE PRESIDENT Candidate name: Alana Chan Campaign paragraph: My name is Alana Chan and I am interested in running for Vice President. I have had previous experience in being a vice president so I have the foundational skills and qualities to ensure a sound performance. I also had experience in planning and organizing events with outstanding results that ensure my skills in being efficient in event management. I am organized, competent, and diligent so there is no doubt in my mind that I can definitely provide and perform to the fullest of my abilities. I can assure that you can trust me with any task and request and I will complete it as soon as possible to guarantee productivity. I will bring together all these characteristics together with a smile and a positive outlook with everything that I do because that is who I am. Without aspirations there are no achievements and I am definitely one determined person. Post: VICE PRESIDENT Candidate name: Roshein Asantarajah Campaign paragraph: My name is Roshien Asantarajah, a 3rd year LASO student. I am extremely excited and 100 percent willing to occupy the Vice-President position for the 2010/2011 academic year. I am an extremely approachable and reliable individual who is currently involved with the CTYG where I hold the Vice-President Internal Position.

POST: SECRETARY Candidate name: Nathalie Filarski Campaign paragraph: I have been a member of the Pre-Law Society at York for the past year and now I want to contribute to the club in a greater way by becoming part of the executive team in the role of secretary. I like helping others and I have always given advice to aspiring law students but never in a formal setting yet. I have previous experience as secretary for the past two years and was also simultaneously the event coordinator this year at the Polish Student’s Association at York. It has given me indispensable skills and experience that I will gladly incorporate to being secretary for Prelaw Society. By becoming an executive, I want to carry the great torch and legacy that the past executives have left, and make sure that next year is just as great as this one was with lots of informative events and helpful tips made available to our members.

I am currently involved with the Canadian Tamil Youth Group for the past 6 years where I hold the Vice President Internal Position. This position has given me the ability to record, manage, and handle all account and fundraising funds. This title enables me to have full financial signing authority within the organization, which requires accountability, reliance and exceptional communication skills. With your help and votes let’s put PLSY on the map!
