VP Information is up first!

Anglo and Franco candidates are debating together since they are both unopposed.

Anglo = Larissa Cahute
Franco = Bruce Landry

Opening Statements:

Larissa -
She was a 101 week guide, went on the montreal trip to CBC, wants to see more press releases and newsletters, will make much use of the promo team, because she has experience on the events committee and like that, the promo team will let students get involved without the pressure of exec - she was also Volunteer of the Year

Bruce -
c'est en francais! check la rotonde, they re here too!

Question from the moderator:
90% of CSA members will never attend a CSA event - how will you reach out to those students who are not on the executive's facebook groups?

Bruce:
- Class Presentations - except use video so that volunteers who are uncomfortable with public speaking do not have to present
- word of mouth,
- hook more 1st year students.

Larissa:
- Send out MORE emails - reminders, blurbs, etc
- Press releases

Special surprise for uncontested candidates!!!
