Part of your responsibility as society leaders is keeping your members up to date with your activity. This involves inviting them to your events, making them feel involved in your decision making, and posting content for them to enjoy.
When communicating with members using a shared society platform, committee members must always sign off with their name.

The event is free, and is in RHB 255. If you have any questions, just get in touch!
