What is Council?

The Engineering Society Council is a bi-weekly meeting where all voting and ex-officio members of the Society, as well as any members at large, come together to make decisions regarding the Engineering Society. The Engineering Society Council is the highest decision-making body within the Society. While only 36 members have a vote, any undergraduate engineering student is welcome to attend, observe, or speak to any motion. The agenda for each council is posted on the Engineering Society’s website two days prior to the meeting. For more information, please feel free to email the Director of Governance at [email protected].

FAQ

To change Policy or By-Laws, follow these easy steps!

1. Keep track changes while you make edits to policy

2. E-mail your track-changed copy of the Policy/By-Law you are changing to the Director of Governance ([email protected]) for 11:59 pm the Monday before council.

3. Complete the Microsoft Form to request a motion for your changes (Link to motion request form). The formatting of this motion can be seen below.  

WHEREAS, (reason #1 for changing policy/by-laws)
AND WHEREAS, (more reasons, if you have them)
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Council approve of the changes to Policy Section (insert section here) as seen in appendix “(whatever you want to name it here)”

However, if you are changing a By-Law instead of a policy section you must come and submit everything to TWO weeks of council. The first week your BE IT RESOLVED THAT will say “Council approve of the changes to By-Law (insert number here) in its first reading as seen in appendix ‘(whatever you want to name it here)’” and the following week your motion’s BE IT RESOLVED THAT will say “Council approve of the changes to By-Law (insert number here) in its second reading as seen in appendix ‘(whatever you want to name it here)’”

4. Come to council on that Thursday at 6:30 pm (EST) to speak for why you want your motion to pass, and make it happen!

It’s that simple!

You can expect interesting discussion on society governance, faculty and university decisions and civilized discourse. There are rules about when you can talk, and how the meetings are structured. For more information on that, download the council guide. The guide contains a more in-depth description of how council works, and what you should expect.

There are 36 voting members of council, and 17 non-voting members of council. These 47 people are mandated to be at council meetings, however any engineering student who has paid their EngSoc student fees are welcome to come join in at Council! Email the Director of Governance at [email protected] if you would like the Zoom link to an upcoming Council meeting.

Also, the Annual General Meeting is open to all undergraduate engineering students, with each having a vote.

For any questions about council, or if you have suggestions for this page, please email the Director of Governance at [email protected]
