General Meeting and election process

Voting took place at our General Meeting, which happens once a year according to our Bylaws. This meeting was for Chi Hack Night Members only. At the meeting we followed this agenda and discussed a change to our Bylaws to allow Members who recently joined to participate in voting. We also heard from each of the 9 candidates running for elected or appointed seats. You can read their candidate statements here.
