<Title>SGA Announces New General Meetings for the UMBC Community</Title>
<Tagline>Join the conversation - and let's make change happen!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>SGA is pleased to announce the new "General Meetings." Various departments and branches of the organization meet weekly - however, SGA rarely meets as a large group in a meeting. While we will continue to hold these weekly meetings, there might be a perception that those meetings are intimidating and don’t foster a welcoming environment for students interested in getting involved as well as they should. SGA wants to create a space for meaningful conversations about problems, challenges, and issues faced by our UMBC community. General Meetings are designed to address just that.</span></p><br><p><span>Each month, the SGA will facilitate conversations around topics that are “hot button” issues in our campus community. The meeting will begin with updates from SGA’s Executive Branch (including Department Directors) and Legislative Branch (Senate and Finance Board). These updates will help our UMBC community understand what exactly our SGA has been working on. Afterwards, we will begin our themed discussion in small groups. At the end of the night, we will determine next steps to make real change on campus. </span></p><br><p><span>The goal of the General Meetings is to do the following:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Provide a venue for SGA officials to share updates with the UMBC community</span></p></li><li><p><span>Increase SGA’s commitment of transparency </span></p></li><li><p><span>Networking opportunity for students to meet a diverse group of students, faculty, and staff for projects and initiatives</span></p></li><li><p><span>Discuss real problems on campus, and determine actionable initiatives </span></p></li><li><p><span>Get every person in our campus involved with SGA!</span></p></li></ul><br><p><span>You're invited to our first General meeting on Wednesday, September 14th! All General Meetings begin at 6pm and take place in the Skylight Room on the 3rd Floor of the Commons. Please RSVP to the events on myUMBC if you plan on attending. Dinner will be provided!</span></p><br><ul><li><p><span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sga/events/40909" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">September 14, 2016 - Getting Involved</a></span></p></li><li><p><span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sga/events/40910" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">October 12, 2016 - Civic Agency</a></span></p></li><li><p><span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sga/events/40911" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">November 16, 2016 - Giving Back</a></span></p></li><li><p><span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sga/events/40915" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">February 8, 2017 - Diversity at UMBC</a></span></p></li><li><p><span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sga/events/40914" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">March 8, 2017 - Environmental Sustainability</a></span></p></li><li><span><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/sga/events/40912" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">April 12, 2017 - Meet Your Next SGA</a></span></li></ul></span></div>
