Request to join BAM committees:

This year to ensure we maximize time for adda and chorcha (important, right?) during the GBM, let's do something to save some administrative time. We are requesting that committee members from last year continue in their respective groups. However if they are interested in switching to a different committee this would be the time to do so. At the same time, BAM members and newcomers are also highly encouraged to join in any committee that interests them.

Attached is the link to the committee formation excel sheet.

Thank you,
