Additionally we'll vote for a SPECIAL SECRETARY TO THE YOUNG TRUSTEE PROCESS. This position will make recommendations to the Senate on how the reform the Young Trustee Process; making it MORE TRANSPARENT.
Finally, FOUR Referendums are on the ballot:

Both ICC and DSG support this move.

Vice President Brown Resigns
Hello All,
On Monday, June 29, Andrew Brown, Trinity '11, resigned his position as Vice President for the Inter-Community Council, effective immediately.
His email to DSG exec is as follows:
Everyone,
I am writing to formally resign as Vice President for the Inter-Community Council. I have decided to attend Duke in New York: Financial Markets and Institutions Program in the Spring of 2010. Since I will be in New York this Spring, I will not be able to carry out the responsibilities of my position. I have thought about this decision for quite awhile now, and I do not take it lightly. However, this is the best decision for me personally at the moment. I was not aware of the Duke in New York program before being elected, otherwise I would not have run. I regret that I will not get to be a part of this year's exciting Executive Board, and I wish you all the best of luck.
Sincerely,
Andrew Brown
We'll keep you posted about any developemnts regarding Andrew's replacement.
- Gregory, Executive Vice President

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at gregory.morrison@duke.edu and I'll do my best to answer you!
