Dear All,

Barts and The London Dental Society was set up one year after foundation of our dental school.
 
Since that time this society has been governed by dental students. Our society is progressing fast and responsibilities of committee members are becoming much more important as the actions of committee can affect dental student's university life directly.
 
There are 20 positions available in the Barts Dental Society and only a dental student can stand for any of these positions.
Approximately 12 DentSoc and 12 SSLC meetings are held each year to which all committee members are expected to attend. Senior members of committee are expected to attend more meetings as will be specified by the Dental President. All elected members are responsible to fulfil their duties and hence not to put any extra pressure on other members within the committee.
 
Once the new committee is formed there will be training from previous committee members which will give you the opportunity to attain in depth information in regards to what duties you are expected to fulfil.
 
The information pack below is intended to outline a brief description of each role and explain the election procedure.
Please note that the role descriptions are a general guidance and may change from year to year.
 
Please read all the rules of the elections carefully; we want to encourage you to get as many students to vote for you - but only within the boundaries of the election regulations.

After the close of nominations and before the opening of campaigning, there will be Dental Hustings that will take place on 2nd of June 2010 and you are expected to attend this meeting where you will be asked to give a short speech about yourself and what makes you the best candidate for the job. You must attend this meeting unless you have a valid reason not to; in this case you should contact one of the elections officers and give your apologies. If you can not attend to Dental Hustings you may send a representative to read your speech for you.

Good Luck!
Dental Society Committee
