After winning student government elections, the Focus Party’s first order of business is finding a staff to fill their executive cabinet for the 2008-2009 school year.
The first position to be filled will be chief of staff, the manager of the executive cabinet.
Patrick Reimherr, student body president elect, said the chief of staff should be well associated with many aspects around campus, not just ASUU.
“We’re looking for someone who can work really well with Patrick, Madison and I,” said Jon Hayes, the vice president elect.
Much of the chief of staff’s job involves working with U administrators, so personalities that cooperate well with others are also greatly valued, Hayes said.
Applications for the chief of staff position are available in the Associated Students of the University of Utah office, Union room 237. On April 1, Reimherr and Hayes will begin interviewing candidates for the position.
Once they hire the chief of staff, Reimherr and Hayes will begin their search for other cabinet members.
The applications for executive cabinet positions will become available March 31. Applications can be picked up in the ASUU office. Reimherr and Hayes said they want to incorporate diversity into every board. Experience with diversity issues will be considered in the application process, Reimherr said, but is not the deciding factor for any applicant.
“We’re hoping that anyone and everyone will apply,” Hayes said.
