Duke’s OutLaw group needs you! We are looking for candidates to help shape the future of the organization, and thus are asking all potential applicants to SUBMIT ONLINE HERE.
You are asked to submit a statement of interest, which can be in a medium of your choice. We accept graphics (.jpg, .jpeg, .png), Word documents (.doc, .docx), portable document format (.pdf), or PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx). The statement of interest is your opportunity to express your interests for OutLaw and can target one position (e.g., President) or be created to encompass a wide swath of positions. Either way, you can be considered for any role on the board. The document you choose to upload should be limited to 1 sheet/slide/etc.
Voting will be done online, and shall be open for one full week (7 days). We will use instant runoff vote (IRV) if there is more than one candidate, and multiple people can run for multiple positions. For positions that run uncontested, we will vote by affirmation. Both sets of voting requires a majority of voters. Positions for which no person runs will be filled at the discretion of the newly-elected executives–either through appointments this year or at the start of the semester during the 2014–2015 academic year.
For current executives, please click here. Also read the About page, which include our bylaws, featuring a description of each position’s role.
