April General Body Meeting and the election to end all elections

On April 22nd, LTI had its monthly General Body Meeting (GBM). This month's meeting consisted of the usual icebreaker, delicious snacks, and an overview of upcoming events for LTI. In addition to these things, this month's GBM stood out from past GBMs in that the focus of this meeting was to assemble next year's LTI executive board.

This month's icebreaker was a game of cherades. Everyone was split into two groups. Within each group every person was given a minute to act out a word or phrase. While no points were recorded, this game was still very competitive.

In addition to the icebreaker, final plans were made for the weekend retreat. The plan for the retreat was to fly kites at Boston Commons and then have an early dinner. Additionally, the group also made plans for the closing ceremony and summer plans (with some traveling, and others staying behind to teach a class with HSSP).

Finally, a large part of the GBM was spent assembling next year's LTI executive board. Elections of each position were used to assemble next year’s executive board. While some positions were not filled, after a brief discussion, we decided to leave those positions alone and instead let them be filled by next year’s new members.

Overall, I was pleased with this month's GBM.
