The board gathered once more for its 12th board meeting, this time with some extra guests!

The Nomination Committee informed the board about their plans for the upcoming election season. The application period opens on the 17th of February. More information coming soon! 

The Health, Environment and Safety Committee held a discussion in preparation for the release of the new ”Are you okay?” survey at the end of March. Another matter was regarding doing more quantitative investigation in the same areas as ”Are you okay?”. The board’s student issue working group, who came up with the idea, will continue the development to make it possible for future semesters. 

The board created two new working groups for the spring semester. One will create the new budget for the next operational year, and one will manage the pedagogical and honorary prize and the graduation ceremonies. The board also discussed some changes in older working groups since the board currently is missing one member. 

During this meeting, the board discussed an agreement with TLTH and LDK regarding student representatives in shared department boards.

The board also approved an application for the project fund and briefly discussed how LUNA will participate in the Spring Welcome Expo (Hälsningsgillet). There was also discussion on how the union should position itself regarding saved government funds at the university (sv: myndighetskapital).

The LUNA parliament had its first meeting of 2020 on January 29th. During the meeting, there was discussion on how to best channel environmental work within LUNA. No decisions were made, but there will likely be a decision on this during the next parliament.

There was discussion on the future office situation for LUNA, and parliament agreed on some mutual stances that will be brought forward to the Faculty.

The union parliament also elected a member of CRC, a representative in the LUS nomination committee, and a representative for SFSFUM.

During this meeting, the board approved MUR’s new Instagram and Facebook pages.
The board also discussed the budget for Utopia next year, since it will be a jubilee ball. The budget for the jubilee and Utopia will probably be separate, but this will be discussed at Parliament.
LUNA has been contacted by a merchandise company, but there was a consensus that we should not switch supplier for merchandise yet.

The last union Parliament of 2019 was held on December 9th. Parliament elected a new Parliament chairperson and alternate chairperson, as well as a party committee member.

Parliament decided to approve of an updated version of the union policy for alcohol and drugs.
There were also discussions about closed-door meetings. At the next Parliament, a potential clarification in the regulations about what applies when it comes to closed-door meetings will be brought up.
There was discussion on how we can ensure that the new active union members can feel supported by the older members, while still feeling free to explore their positions on their own. This discussion will continue on in the future.
Parliament also continued the discussion on long-term goals and were given a presentation from the HMS chairperson of the results from the “Are You Okay?” survey.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Parliament representatives of 2019 for their great work this year!

The board had its 8th meeting this Thursday and all members gathered to discuss some important matters. The Chairperson of the Health, Environment and Safety Committee (HMS) was there to present the result of the survey ”Are you okay?”. This was followed by some input from the board members on how the committee can present the survey. The Board held a first discussion on what to do during the spring’s Hällsningsgillet for new students at the university and the board’s event working group will ensure that LUNA has a fun and informative presents. The board also held two discussions on matters lying further into the future, a possible common sign-up system for all of Studentlund and a possible change in local situation. 

The board is also doing the final touches on an event for the Music Aid (sv: Musikhjälpen). Next Thursday you can find board members outside of the astronomy building all afternoon selling science gingerbread cookies with the full income going to the charity!
