Hi GAPS Community,

This is a reminder of the GAPS all-members meeting and elections taking place on Friday March 13 in the MOB Auditorium (and online) from 12 - 1pm. All GAPS members (all grad students and postdocs at TRIUMF) are encouraged to attend, regardless of if you are running for a position. You can learn more about GAPS, vote on your new representatives, and get a free catered lunch!

As a reminder, in order to be eligible for a Chair position, you must attend 2 GAPS Committee meetings. If you are interested and have not yet attended, you can still self-nominate! If you have never attended a GAPS Committee meeting before, you just need to attend this week’s meeting (Friday @ 3pm in the MOB Conference Room) and then the general meeting the following week to be eligible. All GAPS members are still eligible to vote.

Please sign up using the following form by end of day this Friday so we know how much food to buy, and optionally to nominate yourself or another GAPS member for a position - GAPS Info Session and Elections - Friday March 13, 12 - 1 pm – Fill out form<https://forms.office.com/r/vDHVcZ3wK5>. Share with your (GAPS member) friends as well! Please see below for the available positions, and reach out to the GAPS Committee (gaps at triumf.ca) or message the outgoing Chair on Teams or over email (Ben Davis-Purcell) if you have any questions. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up!

Hope to see you at the General Meeting!
