DLR #1: Orientation and Treasurer Workshop
WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 5, 1-4 PM WHERE: Strosacker Auditorium WHAT: At this DLR, we will go over important information for the semester, hold elections for our open executive positions, and provide a detailed treasurer workshop.
Important Notes:
The DLR representative does not have to be a member of your organization's executive board, but we strongly recommend that your organization's treasurer attend the Treasurer workshop.
DLR Attendance Policy:
UDC Exec (udc-exec@case.edu) must be made aware of any absences 48 hours in advance so we can excuse them. Excused absences means documentation of prior events scheduled that you cannot miss.
If you miss one without excusal given prior, you have the opportunity to make it up by volunteering within the community.
Two representatives will have to volunteer and send in documentation/photos stating that they have done some sort of volunteering that UDC exec has approved, so we can excuse the absence.
Only one absence can be excused through volunteering. After that, there are financial consequences. Failure to communicate with UDC Exec about an absence or seek an excusal, including after the event, will result in the applicable financial consequences.
What is a DLR?
The Diversity Leaders’ Roundtables (DLRs) foster collaboration in UDC, recognize new member organizations, and vote on relevant issues. They allow UDC to stay connected with its members and facilitate easier communication within the organization.
