My name is Seth Blunt and I will be the Union Board President for 2020. I have served with the board since 2017, either as a member of the music committee or as the director for Performance and Entertainment. I am very excited about this upcoming year and believe we have a great group of directors and members who will be able to continue to push Union Board forward in the new decade!
During our spring Malkin retreat, we gathered at Bradford Woods and nailed down our expectations and goals for the upcoming semester, which we will re-evaluate in the fall and check on throughout the semester. Our main focus is on redeveloping our membership recruitment efforts by utilizing different methods. Our goal is to not only retain our current committee members but also increase our committee sizes with engaged members by 40%.
How will we reach this goal?
We discussed how we can improve the current state of our internal affairs, particularly through having consistent and high-quality programming, having engaged members, and by planning in advance, we will create a successful foundation for our current board, and allow future boards to continue to build on this.
Again, I’m very excited about the groundwork we’ve laid for the year ahead. I believe the 111th board is prepared to meet large scale goals and impact the organization internally as we continue to keep the campus moving. Thank you, and if you need any information on our current plans or upcoming events, please reach out to me at ubpres@indiana.edu.
