SGA COMMITTEE DESCRIPTIONS

Diversity Committee
Committee is currently under construction.

Any questions, concerns or comments please email Mercedes Davis (mdavis2@email.smith.edu)

Elections and Appointments Committee
The Elections and Appointments Committee organizes and runs the all-college and class elections. It runs the voting website, and monitors the candidates as well. In addition, EnA interviews and appoints students to various college committees. Both the elections and committee appointments are held in the Fall and Spring semesters each year. The chair is elected in an all campus election and the rest of the members are elected through senate.

Any questions, concerns or comments please email Laura Winkler (lwinkler@email.smith.edu).

House Presidents’ Association (HPA)
The House Presidents’ Association (HPA) is a body composed of the house presidents (HPs) from all Smith houses that are self-governing. It is dedicated to improving the house community experience—a unique part of student life and a tradition specific to Smith. The HPA addresses both the fun and not-so-fun aspects of Smith house community, while representing its interests to the SGA and the College Administration. It meets every week on Tuesday nights, 7-8pm. The House Presidents are elected by an all house election in each house. The chair and vice chair of HPA are elected by HPA.

Any questions, concerns or comments please email Meg Schmitt (mschmitt@smith.edu).

Organization Resources Committee (ORC)
The Organization Resources Committee or ORC, serves as a source of support for all chartered organizations on campus. ORC is responsible for providing organizations with their annual budgets during the fall of each year and allocating funds from the Discretionary Fund and the Equipment Fund as appropriate. In addition, ORC is responsible for assisting organizations in planning and executing their events and guiding new organizations through the SGA chartering process.

ORC consists of the Chair, Vice Chair of Chartering, Vice Chair of Budgeting, SGA President, SGA Treasurer, and 10 Liaisons. The organizations ORC serves include, but are not limited to: Departmental Organizations, Arts and Performing Arts, Athletic Organizations, Cultural Heritage Organizations, Religious Groups, Political Organizations, Activist Organizations, Support and Resource Organizations, Art and Communication Organizations, and Special Interest Organizations.

The ORC Chair, Vice Chair of Chartering, and Vice Chair of Budgeting are elected by the student body in April of each year. ORC’s liaisons can either be elected through Senate or elected through the Elections and Appointments Committee also in April of each year.

ORC is funded by the Student Activities Fee, and it is privilege as well as a responsibility to serve on this committee. ORC is here to help support and guide your organizations!
