Dear Prospective Candidate,
We would like to congratulate you on your interest in running for the executive office of the Associated Students of Mesa Community College (ASMCC) for the 2025-2026 academic year. ASMCC is a student-driven and student-led organization that has a long tradition of giving our student body a voice on campus. Without the involvement of passionate, vocal, and dedicated students, we could not continue that tradition.
Being an Executive Officer for ASMCC bears great responsibility. You will be speaking on behalf of our entire college’s diverse and dynamic student body. The duties of an Executive Board position take a great deal of commitment, effort, and representation. If you are willing to provide that, then these positions will give you a unique and admirable opportunity for personal and professional growth. As an Executive Officer, you will be committing yourself to the mission of ASMCC and helping to represent and aid our Mesa Community College community.
If you feel that you have the abilities and qualifications to run, please do not hesitate. We are excited about a competitive, fair election for the 2025-2026 ASMCC Executive Board positions.
Thanks,
ASMCC Elections Committee
