  4. In the application section, what is “Director of Referral”? Do I need more than one referral?
    To have your application processed, you will need a “Director of Referral” from one of the Directors of SMA (including the President or non-committee Directors). This means that we request your participation at some SMA events before you apply for your Executive Membership. You can showcase your participation by attending any of our SMA events, helping at booth duty, and/ or attending our meetings (current meetings times can be found here [http://www.sfubiz.ca/sma/join-sma/meeting-times]). After your attendance at some of these events or meetings, you can approach any of the Directors and ask them in-person for their referral by showing your interest in applying for Executive Membership. Regardless of which committees you are interested in, you only need ONE Director’s referral. Once you have asked a Director in-person, you can write the name of the Director who provided you with a referral in the application. It’s as simple as that!

If you have any further questions about SMA general membership and/or executive membership opportunities, please email Grace (Director of Human Resources) at eka16@sfu.ca.
