A Hall Events Committee s goal is to encourage as much representation from all floors as possible. As such, participation varies within each hall. Because Hall Events Committees (H.E.C.s) plan events like a work-team, decisions tend to be made with group discussions. When moving the discussion to a vote, the hall may choose: a. To have building residents attending vote b. To have building residents attending vote except the chair as meeting leader c. To have building residents attending vote except the executive committee Section 5: Removal of Officers 1. A committee may remove an executive officer with a 2/3 majority vote of the committee. An officer can be removed for failing to meet their duties as outlined or valid concerns regarding their performance as a H.E.C. officer. A written notice of specific concerns must be presented to the executive board and discussed at a meeting at least one week prior to a vote by the committee. Voting rights will follow the hall specific standard established for previous business within the group. 2. If the Hall chair is removed from their position, it is the Treasurer s duty to appoint a new Hall Chair which has to pass with a 2/3 confidence vote to attain the position.

9 3. If any other position is removed then it is the duty of the Hall Chair to appoint a replacement as soon as possible. This must be voted on and pass with a 2/3 confidence vote of the committee. 4. A quorum shall be determined by each individual Hall(s) Committee.
