• A word from our executive board:
  Hello All =) , We would like to thank all who came to Pride's First Mass meeting of this semester! We had around 40 people at
  one time in the room, which is a fantastic number of both new and continuing membership. First, to look ahead at
  this week, we are holding a special election to fill in the two vacant spots on the Executive Board of the
  Pride Alliance. Please note that there are only two positions open for vote: the positions of Treasure and Fundraising
  Coordinator! Any member of this organization can run for either but keep in mind, that in order to run you must be a
  registered SUNY Albany undergraduate student (second-semester freshman or higher), have a decent GPA,
  and have more than 2-5 hours open for Pride; Office Hours, E-Board Meetings, and other various duties that your
  respected position calls for in the Constitution/By-Laws (for more information please go onto our MyInvolvement
  site and click the 'Documents Link'). So far there are only two members running for election, Dean and Kiley,
  that we are aware of. If you want to run for any of the open positions please email Pride at: Pride@albany.edu
  by WEDNESDAY, February 10th @ 9PM to submit your name. If you cannot make this meeting date and still wish to vote,
  please contact us and you can fill out a ballot, in our office confidentially!
  Our next meeting will be this Thursday February 11, 2010 starting at 8pm in the Humanities Building room number 115.
  Our agenda will begin as follows:
  • Introductions to the rest of the Executive Board members and our new interns!
  • Special Election for Fundraiser-Coordinator and Treasure and Results!!!
  • Input from YOU on what you want/expect from Pride; any ideas, events, programs you have in mind.
  • Some of what the E-Board has in mind or planned so far this semester.
    (Relay for Life, Social joint events with St.Rose/HVCC Pride, Pride Week etc...)
  • Forming Committees for big events
  • Office Hour Sign-ups for new E-board members
  Took look back at our last meeting, we talked about the obvious change of weekly meetings to
  monthly meetings. Our reason for changing the traditional meeting schedule was the ability for
  our organization to branch off into other university inclusive events and programs.
  Another rationale for our change was the idea that instead of the Executive Board running all the
  events that Pride holds, we would want YOU (meaning the membership) to start having input,
  whether planning the given program or event to actually running the show, under an executive
  board member's supervision (for liability issues). To organize these activities and events,
  we hope to form committees again to ensure that everyone's ideas are accounted for, and the work can be
  done in stages. Also, during out last meeting we had a few special guests, Chad Putman and his partner,
  from the Trevor Project/Rainbow Alliance Initiative. He talked about his organization.
  In addition to operating the crisis and suicide prevention helpline, The Trevor Project provides
  online support to young people through the organization's Web site, and also provides lifesaving
  guidance and vital resources to educators and parents. They are offering The Pride Alliance membership
  a great new Train the Trainer Program in late February (2/20/10) on Guidance for Youth. If any of you are
  interested in joining please contact Jonny Puglia: President of Pride Alliance at jp441911@albany.edu
  for more info, please note that there are only a few spots open for this.
  In an attempt to make our Web Site more accessible and attractive I am asking anyone who would have
  past pictures of the Pride Alliance/past events or just really cool pics (that are Clean!)
  to send them to Pride@albany.edu or bring them into
  the meeting this week so Kenny Meese (our Webmaster) can start putting them up! =)
  
  See You All Soon!
