<Title>Correction: Vote for your GA Advisory Committee Chair for 2025-26!</Title>
<Tagline>Voting closes Thursday night! (with updated link!)</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>(I have updated one of the links below, as it was incorrect in the first email.)</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>According to University System of Maryland policy, current GAs are entitled to "a graduate assistant advisory
    committee, to be comprised of graduate assistant members who will represent the interests
    of the institution’s graduate assistants" and who will "meet for discussions with campus administration, including the institution’s
    vice presidents for academic affairs and administration and the graduate dean, at least
    twice annually" (see Section VI, "Communication with Administration," of the current USM Policy on Graduate Assistantships at <a href="https://www.usmd.edu/regents/bylaws/SectionIII/III711.pdf">https://www.usmd.edu/regents/bylaws/SectionIII/III711.pdf</a>).<div><br></div>
    <div>This year we thought our current GAs should directly elect the Chair of GAAC ourselves rather than the Senate, some of whom are not GAs, electing someone on our behalf.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Accordingly, here are your candidates for this year's election:</div>
    <div><strong>Harshal Chauhan</strong></div>
    <div>candidate speech &amp; Q&amp;A conducted by GSA Election Committee: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xH2cplcObtI7zSwkBtG0_gf-Y43JOotz/view?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xH2cplcObtI7zSwkBtG0_gf-Y43JOotz/view?usp=sharing</a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Milind Rampure</strong></div>

    <div>[<strong>UPDATED to the correct link!</strong>] Here is a document with their application materials, including candidate statements:</div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>And here is your ballot for voting for your preferred candidate:</div>

    <div>You must be logged into your UMBC Gmail account. You can only submit the form once and will not be able to edit it once you have submitted it.</div>
