Ryerson Greens' second meeting: Help us set up an executive and develop an election plan!

Hey Everyone! Happy sustainability week!

Our first meeting went extremely well. It was Ryerson's introduction to the party. I thank all of you that came, and also those that signed up for our list, and those in our facebook group. You were all part of the success.

Now, it's time to kick it into gear. We were the first to show a presence on campus this election, but we have to keep up the momentum. The Conservatives have come up with a strange marketing campaign, and considering how much money they have, we should be seeing it around fairly soon. We have competition.

We need a core group of people to run the campaign on campus, and we need a plan. That's where you come in. If you're interested in being on the executive and/or helping out with planning, come on out to our second meeting!

The executive will be 3-5 people with different responsibilities. An example of the different responsibilities:

-Volunteer Co-Ordinator

-Events Co-Ordinator

-Media/Communication Co-Ordinator

And here's an idea of the things that make up the campaign:

-Events
Speakers, movies, concerts, fashion shows; anything to get attention!

-Postering
Designing, printing, and putting up posters.

-Pamphletting
At events, at street corners, in residence, to professors, everywhere. We also want to get as many buttons out there as we can. They're an incredible tool on election campuses to show a critical mass of voters.

-Other advertising
Setting up tables in public places, chalking visible surfaces on campus, Facebook, etcetera

-A website
It's very poor right now. It can barely be called a website.

-Volunteer coordination
Keeping in touch with them and linking them with the broader campaign.

-Fundraising
I know students are strapped, but with a campaign at this level, every little bit counts! $10 buys 500 sheets of 100% post-consumer recycled paper - that's 500 posters!

Being on our executive will be a fantastic experience!
