 Molly Mac Dougall

I believe that SGA is one of the most important parts of the Bryn Mawr experience. The fact that we have a significant sat in the way in which our community runs is exceptionally valuable. One of the significant outlets of SGA is elections, which facilitate our representative government. Because of the immense value I place on elections, I am running for Elections Head.

As an involved member of the Bryn Mawr community, I have developed excellent organizational skills and a great affinity for emails, skills that I believe lend themselves quite well to the position of Elections Head. I fully understand the elections process, having previously run for and been elected as a member of the Honor Board. I also frequently attend SGA meetings as a community member, so I am prepared to participate in the representative council.

If elected, I would work to increase participation in the elections process, including nominations and voting turnout. I would attempt to make the elections process more visible and accessible to the entirety of the undergraduate population, not just those with a keen interest in being very involved in SGA.
