  - anyone can run (we’re not elitist)
  - it’s a great way to learn what the board is all about
  - platform should include: name, year, why chose BE, why want position
- No speeches, instead have candidates stand and say name and position running for
- Food = subway + cake
- Email professors to hype up in 20.109, 310, 330, 380 (who?)
- Ballots:
  - alphabetical candidates
  - rank candidates 1 & 2 (in case of ties)
  - space at bottom for BE ideas/comments
- For future board meetings, people that come regularly perhaps have:
  - board members at large?
  - committees?
  - semester long positions?
