Mission Statement: The General Board provides perspective on what students want from SAB, as well as bringing fresh new ideas for activities and events. The general board is the core of student input on the Board's activities, both serving as a sounding board for the decisions and plans of the Executive Board and representing the student body within the SAB's organization.  Each volunteer supports the Student Activities Executive Board by attending one weekly committee meeting and one monthly General Board meeting.

General Board Representative:

Each week, our Executive Board has a meeting on Friday afternoon. We realize each of our volunteers is a valuable and essential part of our board. As a result, we ask the general board to elect one representative to attend these weekly meetings. At the meeting, the representative would have a time slot to give a report about the workings of the general board.

The General Board Representative would also take notes at the meeting in order to report back to the General Board as a whole.

The General Board Representative would also chair each of the General Board meetings, as well as, head up the planning of the Earth Day festival.
