Version: Committee on Leadership Development as Introduced

First Reading: Second Reading:

WHEREAS, many Senators have identified concerns of the student body, but because most Senators do not know how to draft bills, these concerns are not addressed by the Senate ; and,

WHEREAS, time is wasted during Senate meetings to explain rules that Senators should already be aware of; and,

WHEREAS, if Senators knew how to develop an idea or concern into legislation, the Senate would become much more productive; now therefore be it,

RESOLVED, that the Committee on Leadership Development will develop a workshop entitled “First Term Senator Training” explaining Senator responsibilities and expectations; and be it further,

RESOLVED, all Senators serving their first term will be required to attend this workshop upon being elected to Senate
