−	~~===Proposed Changes for the 2007-2008 Year===~~
−	~~=====All of these changes were proposed in the March 21, 2007 meeting of the Red Army.=====~~
−	*The Red Army (student section) will encompass the entire student body. Discounted tickets will not be available for next year, nor will you have to sign up for Red Army (unless you want to be leadership).
−	**200 new t-shirts will be distributed to freshmen at SOs, and more t-shirts will be available for ~$7 apiece at the Bookstore.
−	*The Red Army (club) will be comprised of a president, 6 committees, and 4 liaisons as detailed below.
−	*There will be an attempt to put more emphasis on hockey line.
−	*Non-ticket related incentives are being explored, such as concessions discounts for wearing a Red Army shirt to games.
−	*General meetings of the Red Army will occur once a month to garner input. Leadership meetings will occur more frequently.
−	*Tailored cheer sheets will be made for every game. This will likely fall under the sphere of the Material Command.
−	*As opposed to trying to make it to every game for every sport, research will be done to find the biggest games/matches for each team so that the Red Army can be present.

−	~~====Proposed Leadership Structure====~~
−	*The General (President) of the Red Army will overlook the various committees and liaisons and basically be in charge.
−	*Committees - There will be 6 committees, each led by a Committee Chair.
−	**1. Signal Corps. (Promotions/Communications)
−	***The Signal Corps. will be in charge of communicating with the student body and making sure that students get to Red Army events.
−	**2. Material Command (Spirit)
−	***The Material Command will be in charge of furthering school spirit across campus at games and events. It has been suggested that a member(s) of the pep band join this committee or become the committee chair.
−	**3. Game Corps. (Game Day)
−	***The Game Corps. will make sure that everything that needs to happen for tailgates, game promotions, and anything else during games gets taken care of.
−	**4. Special Ops (Special Events)
−	***Special Ops is much like the Game Corps., except for special events.
−	**5. Reserve Command (Alumni Relations)
−	***This position wasn't elaborated on in the meeting.
−	**6. ____________ (____________)
−	***A sixth committee TBD will even up voting at 10.
−	*Liaisons - There will be 4 liaisons, each taking a different responsibility. These are single person jobs, which are pretty self explanatory from the title.
−	**7. Quartermaster (Treasurer)
−	**8. E-Board Liaison
−	**9. Greek/IFC Liaison
−	**10. Administrative Liaison
−
−	As soon as these positions and a focused purpose are defined for Red Army, a constitution will be drawn up. Until then, they are governed under the general constitution for a starting club as detailed by the Union.
−
−	~~==2007-2008==~~
−	~~Proposed Leadership Structure:~~
−	*President
−	*Treasurer
−	*Contact Chair
−	*Spirit Chair
−	*Game Day Chair
−
−	~~Responsibilities and formal names for the positions will be decided on Sept. 12~~
