Hello Everyone/Hola a Todos!
AELLA is in the process of renewing its charter. Renewing the charter is key for AELLA to keep its budget allocation (money available to organize events), its office space, and its official recognition as a student organization. AELLA has historically made its resources available to ANY Latino student or students with an interest in organizing events around Latin American and Latino Diaspora issues, and will continue to provide our resources to students who express interest.
Traditionally we were required to submit a paper roster with 20 signatures to renew our charter. That process has now been changed to what is known as an eBallot. To “sign” the roster (which is basically casting a vote for AELLA on the eBallot system), you need to take the following steps
1. Visit https://eballot.votenet.com/dsc/login.cfm
2. provide your banner ID (student ID number you use to do registration online), and the password (your initials + your year of birth)
3. Once there please select AELLA on the corresponding ballot and “vote” for the organization so that it can maintain its charter.
Please check periodically to find out exactly when our ballot is up so that you can help AELLA maintain its charter! We will need 20 “votes” to keep our charter, so please help if you’d like to preserve this space and resources for Latino students and Latin American & Latino scholars! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the new charter renewal process!
Thanks,
Howard Caro-Lopez
Co-Chair
