Chair Election Procedure

This is a recommended procedure for MCCF chair election. The procedure is based on MCCF constitution, and has been practiced since the first MCCF chair election.

Chair Election Committee
Current chairs + advisors (UW students only)
 * 1) If there are less than 7 people, current committee would pick people from the serving team to join the committee
