A high level of commitment will be required of ESB members. Members are required to attend several trainings during the fall and spring semester, and have a concentrated involvement between February 1, 2023 – March 13, 2023. During that time, ESB members meet to finalize election procedures, host the Candidate seminar, oversee campaigning activities, hear and resolve grievances, certify election results, host the results announcement and perform additional duties related to the position.
