Additionally, you can join a hall council as a floor representative at any point in the year. The maximum number of floor representatives per council is dependent on the number of hall council members. A floor representative is a volunteer who works alongside the hall council on event planning and fulfilling other duties as needed. This is a great position for those who want to be involved but cannot commit entirely to the hall council, or those who did not get elected to their desired position. If you are interested in becoming a floor representative for your respective hall council, please email: sgairhc@gmail.com with your inquiry.
