Broomball Chair and Vice Chair Hiring

Major Broomball Commitee Restructure Approved

Wednesday, March 26 2008 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: broomball, governmental meeting

After a professional presentation from Dustin Sommer, the Broomball Chair for 2008-09, and a heated debate by the council, IRHC approved several large changes to the Broomball committee for the upcoming year.

Based on the increase in size and responsibilities of the Broomball traditions, IRHC raised the payment of each committee position. However, since the committee is actually shrinking in size, the overall increase in committee payment is relatively small. With the restructure of the committee, this payment increase is directly in line with the amount of responsibility each member has in their contract.

The restructure of the committee means that Broomball will now be hiring positions based primarily on skill. In the past, IRHC made it a point to get residential representation on the committee through league heads. After reviewing the pros and cons of this setup, and upon recommendation of the Broomball Chair, the committee will now be focused on their duties first. IRHC will still approve each position and may put stipulation on the residency of the different positions, but the contracts and positions will only be focused on their duties.

These changes are merely reflections on the future direction of the Broomball tradition. IRHC Broomball has grown a lot over the last ten years from it's humble beginnings, and we hope that the committee will be able to continue its great traditions for generations of Tech students for years to come.

Broomball Chair for 2008-09 Approved

Tuesday, March 4 2008 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: broomball, governmental meeting

The process to pick a Broomball Chair and Vice Chair for IRHC is a careful one. First, applications go out via email and online sites for interested individuals. This year the applications were available for three weeks to allow ample time for quality applications and applicants. Then, each candidate is interviewed by a selection panel that includes the IRHC President, Vice President, advisor, as well as the Broomball advisor. This process usually takes over a half hour per candidate, as they are asked a variety of questions regarding their plans and visions of Broomball as well as any personal information regarding their abilities for the position. After this process, the IRHC governmental body votes on the recommendation put forth by the selection panel.

This year there was only one pair of applications, which happened to be the current Broomball Chair and Vice Chair already (Dustin Sommer and Nick Deming). However, the selection committee and IRHC governmental body still went through the process and seriously contemplated reopening applications to allow others to aim at this position. With the selection committee and the approval vote unanimous (not counting abstains) for the pair, IRHC has few doubts of the capabilities of their selection. We all look forward to a new year of IRHC Broomball!

Cocoa Shack Schedule for Finals

Friday, February 22 2008 - Jacob Emerick - Tags: broomball, cocoa shack, event

As the broomball season winds down and final games are played, IRHC decided to follow suit with the cocoa shack. It's been a great year for the shack, with well over 2500 cups given away over the season, so we've decided to keep it open during the major final games of Broomball. While it will be closed over this weekend, the shack will remain open this week from Monday through Thursday with varying times. You can view our event schedule to see exact times, but for the most part, if there's a final game being played then the shack will be open. Oh yeah, and it's still free.
