ITEM & DETAILS
ACTIONS
Chairs – Rachel & Nora
Present to e-board changes to OTSC structure:
●      OTSC does not represent needs of MA-I and OTD/PhD students as they have other needs - remove these positions from council
●      Mimic structure of Division itself and OTAC
●      Executive board would consist of:
o   Chair (2nd year)
o   Secretary (2nd year)
o   Treasurer (2nd year)
o   Vice Chair (1st year)
●      Committee chairs would consist of:

●      Each committee chair would lead committee members
o   Committee members would consist of mostly 1st years
●      Executive board and committee chairs need to have been committee members prior to being voted into these positions (internal vote)
●      Anyone can run for committee member positions (external vote)
●      Can still remain active in a committee if not voted into higher position
●      Committees would meet separately (more autonomous) and executive board would meet once a month
●      Streamline voting through email to executive board
●      New structure would not be implemented until 2 years later
