The Beedie School of Business will be organizing two internal competitions over the summer (July) and will be looking for Organizing Committee members.  If you are interested, please contact Melissa-Sue Read (mar2@sfu.ca) by May 13, 2011 at 11:59PM.
If you have never competed or would like to work on putting these large scale events on, we would like to have you involved.  The two events are:

Peak Performance – a multi-day case competition for 1st-2nd year students  set for July 14
Elite Case Challenge – a 24hour case competition for 3rd-4th year students set July 28

We are putting out a call for the following positions for both competitions :

Chair
Internal Communications
External Communications
Logistics Coordinator

The organizing committees for both competitions will have a lot of support and training from the Beedie School of Business and there is no need for sponsorship as the school will cover the cost of the event.

Students organizing Peak, you will be able to participate in Elite and for those organizing Elite, you will still have an opportunity to facilitate a team in Peak if you choose.

To apply to the organizing committee, please send your name, email, student number, cover letter, resume and an indication as to which event and position you would like to be considered for.

If you have any questions, contact Rosanne Ng at rosannen@sfu.ca
