7. Reflections:
Prepare any questions you have about your position
Prepare your thoughts on specific position goals (something that could
be improved; something new you want to try)
*Prepare your thoughts on the goal of the MSA in a general sense*
- *which audience should we cater to?*
- *which events are important?*
-
*which events do you want to see develop this year? *
*6- Board GIFS*
With Amer's help, I paired everyone on board with gifs for some comic
humor! Please no one take offense, the humor is more in the actual gif
than the pairing of it to anyone. With that said, enjoy! Sorry for the
profanity in Yasser's, #TBJ. I'm not on the list purposely so that if
anyone wants revenge, you can include it in your reply ALL to this thread
lol.
