General Assembly - Medical Students' Society

Winter 2019 General Assembly

The Medical Students’ Society of McGill University (MSS) will be hosting its Winter 2019 General Assembly (GA) on Tuesday, March 19th 2019 at 7:00pm (FOOD & REGISTRATION beginning at 6:00pm) in the Palmer Amphitheatre (522), McIntyre. Dinner will be served, and prizes will be won!

Article 4.1.2 of the MSS Constitution states: “The General Assembly shall have full authority over the Society. The General Council and Class Councils are bound by all decisions made by a General Assembly.”

As you all know after our 2 eventful GA’s this year, the GA is a great opportunity for students to (1) bring forward topics for discussion, to (2) formulate stances taken by the MSS, and to (3) outline actions mandated by the student body to the MSS council.

Voting by Proxy Agreement

Once again, we’ll be allowing students with mandatory, scheduled clinical activities to proxy their vote. Anyone who is interested in a proxy vote is invited to read through the entirety of the agreement, and to reach out to Jesse Chevrier directly if they have any further questions with regards to who is eligible to proxy their vote. All submissions are subject to review, and will be confirmed shortly after submission. Proxy forms will be accepted until March 18th, at 11:59pm.
