FORGE Committees - FORGE is organized as a committee network. Committees are headed by a committee chair-person who coordinates a meeting time each week or however often is effective and is good for all of the committee members. This meeting specifically for the committee is not the same as the General Body Meeting for all FORGE members that take place every Thurs. evening at 8:30pm. All old and new members are welcome to run for committee chair positions! These will take place this Thursday's meeting. Please look out for the email with the location.
The committees are:
The Business Committee
The FORGE Business Committee works with the President and Vice-President to take care of the tasks necessary for running a student organization. It is not a very large committee. We reserve rooms for meetings and events, submit budget requests to the Student Government Board Allocations Committee and attend any workshops that the Student Government Board provides for business managers and officers. It is way fun! Maybe you don’t believe that, but it is actually pretty fun to argue for your programs at the allocations hearings or to watch a film in an auditorium that you reserved. Becoming a member of the Business Committee is a great way to learn how to navigate SG system and build connections with others while working for the amazing cause that is FORGE.
Advocacy
It's pretty self-explanatory what this one is for. This committee organizes advocacy events to raise awareness on campus about refugees, these members will be helping to advertise for and organize the final details for our first big event for the semester: Valentino Deng. Other events done in the past: Guitar Hero Competition, Coffee House Refugee Benefit Concert (with Joy Ike and several other local bands), Apple Cider and Hot Chocolate Sale, Baridi ("cold" in Swahili) Night with panel discussions from local workers with refugees and activists, documentaries, and performances from local African dance groups.
