Representative Assembly VS General Assembly (AGM)
The STA has two types of Assembly meetings: Representative Assemblies and General Assemblies.
Representative Assemblies are held approximately once a month, and are open to all members, but only SSRs are allowed to vote on motions and in elections. Typically only SSRs attend Representative Assembles.
General Assemblies, sometimes referred to as the AGM, are typically held only once a year, in May. They are also open to all members, and it is at General Assembly that we vote to approve our budget for the next year.
