ELS Executive Board nominations due Friday, April 1st- We Need Candidates!

In less than three semesters, the Environmental Law Society of New York Law School has gone from a non-existant, dormant Society to one with over 80 members! We have hosted public speakers, screened environmental documentaries, participated in community service and research projects, and successfully petitioned the NYLS administration to add more environmental law courses to our curriculum.

This is because our Members care and so does our Executive Board. Now its your chance to step up!

If you would like to run for an E-Board position, please submit a "STATEMENT OF INTEREST" to Jose Almanzar (jose.almanzar@law.nyls.eduBY FRIDAY, APRIL 1ST, 11:59PM. The Statement should include: your name, your current year at NYLS and a brief statement (1-2 para.) expressing your interest in one of the positions and why you are qualified for that position.

Electronic elections will be held the following week from April 8th - April 9th.
