General Assembly Numero Uno (#1)

In our first General Assembly of the year, we invite all BASIS members to come together as we discuss the budget for the coming semester and vote in the new committee members!

The official agenda will be published soon, so be sure to click ‘going’ to stay up to date! (an email will also be sent) 

Afterwards we’ll all go to the borrel at Libertijn together for some well-deserved relaxing!

What even is a GA?

The GA is an official gathering of the BASIS study association. As we are a legally registered entity, it is compulsory for us to give members a financial overview of BASIS, as well as, what cool projects we have prepared for you this year! The GA is occasionally used to revise the legal statutes and policy manual. The statutes and policy manual basically stipulate the ‘rules’ of BASIS, e.g. how many members a committee board can have, how many events a committee should hold every year. 

Why should you attend?

The GA is the only occasion in which all BASIS students can unite. It is an opportunity to come together and discuss ideas, concerns and suggestions for our study association. Do you want to understand what BASIS does? Do you want to know what we’re doing with your 20€ membership? Do you have ideas and projects of your own that you would like to present? All these questions will be addressed in our GA!

Also, it’s a great occasion for you to meet the decision-makers of BASIS in person: the BASIS board and the committee heads. Come talk to us if you have new ideas – we’re always open to creativity and motivation. 

We’re looking forward to see you the 25th!
