STA Assembly

Representative Assembly meetings typically provide an opportunity for the following:

• President's Report - The President reports to membership on the work they have been doing, provides updates, and answers questions from membership

• STF Report - Senior Admin Staff (SAS) from the STF provide updates and answer questions from membership

• Committee Chair Reports - Committee chairs report to membership on what their committees are working on and how money is being spent in their budget lines, and invite questions from membership

• Financial Report - The VP of Finance reports to membership on the state of the STA's finances, providing a broad overview of how much money we have spent, and invtes questions from membership

• Old and New Business - Representative Assemblies are also where the business of the STA is conducted

All members of the STA are welcome to attend Representative Assembly meetings, although according to our constitution, only SSRs are allowed to vote on motions and in elections.

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.
