Hey Craig! I'm pretty sure you can do just about anything, but would you mind joining the Constitutional Refinement Committee? We have a directors election coming up and I'd like some help drafting an amendment to the constitution before it's called on the 19th.

[Ayes]

Animation and smart thinking

I'm looking to help out wherever I can. My potentially relevant skills include:

-Proofreading
-Creating fluent PowerPoint (or other) presentations
-Ability to endure monotonous tasks (you never know when that'll come in handy!)
-I have an eye for finding conflicts/loopholes/loose ends in documents (though by no means am I a pro at it)
-Member of Toastmasters, one speech away from completing my Competent Communication manual
-I am an Engineer in Training with a focus on transportation.

If there's a use for any of the above please let me know and I'll be happy to help out. From the meeting yesterday it sounded like the constitutional and platform committees are working on documents. I'd be happy to do some proofreading if there's no one dedicated to that yet.

[Mikkel Paulson]

More eyes are always welcome. I'll add you to the committees, although they're nowhere near proofreading stage yet.

(Except you, ayes.)

[Thomas]

Whats your thing?

How would you feel about writing the monthly newsletter we send out ?

[Deliverance]

Hi,
   I have a comp sci degree so I can be involved in any long term projects!

  I also have an English Literature degree which is probably pretty rare for our party. I'd love to edit press releases, help speach writing and edit letters and other documents!

[Ayes]

(Except you, ayes.)

You're afraid of the truth, Mikkel.

Advertising (Copywriter and designer for Kingston Grammar Police advertisements, a small student program promoting proper grammar in schools)
Organization (Secretary-General and Director-General of the Security Council of Kingston Model UN 2010)
Research (especially governmental and regulatory systems - Executive Committee Chair at KMUN 2010 responsible for adapting The Hague Rules for General Assembly, Human Rights Commission, and Security Council - as well as the position of different parties to an issue)
Writing (particularly position papers.  Model UN again )

I am pursuing a degree in Public Affairs and Policy Management at Carleton, so I'll be able to add economics and political science to my areas of competency.  I already am an amateur student of economic policy, but nothing hardcore.

Use me as you like

[Jake Daynes]

Welcome aboard Chris, glad to have you.

If you talk to Mikkel he can add you to a couple committees that you might be able to help in.

once again, welcome to the PPCA.

1) I have a History/Lit BA so research comes pretty easily to me (I also work in an academic library so resources are always near at hand) -- likewise, writing and editing.

2) I'm good at explaining concepts to people, once I understand them. I think this would be useful for outreach.

3) Lots of other skills that have already been mentioned and some that haven't -- I've been described as a renaissance grrl -- try me if you run short somewhere.
