TAB is changing!
Hi there! I'm Chen, the new TAB president, and I'll be highlighting a few of the changes we'll be making in the near future.First and foremost, you might notice our new and update online presence--we've changed the design of this blog considerably (though things are still subject to shuffle around a little as we add polish here and there), and there's a completely new facebook page for all you to follow, right here! We're planning to be considerably more active online from now on, so keep updated!
Secondly, you might have noticed important internal reshuffling going on in TAB. We've decided to adopt an official series of rules and bylaws, which include the election of officers. I am pleased to report that your new TAB officers are:
Chen Ye (myself) - President
Maia Garcia - Vice President
Maddie Guyott - Secretary
Ryan Prichard - Treasurer
Elections will be held once a year, and we expect this change to allow for TAB to react and perform much faster, not to mention to have more productive meetings :-).
There are a few other minor changes that TAB has adopted just to streamline and update things, which I'm sure you'll find welcoming.
Well, that's really all for this post. I'm really excited to say that this is the beginning of a new era for TAB, and that we hope to become much more professional, effective, and well known throughout Northfield.
Enjoy the ride!
Chen Ye
TAB President
