Officers and Representatives

The Bush School Student Government Association provides Bush School students with a variety of opportunities to lead their class cohort, their peers, the Bush School, and Texas A&M. From elected positions to voluntary and appointed positions, SGA helps develop well-rounded and civic-minded leaders.

Student Officers

The SGA president is elected each year. Once elected, the president appoints a treasurer, secretary, and election commissioner, all of whom are confirmed by the student representatives. These officers— and the vice president, elected in September from the student representatives— set the agenda for meetings, maintain funding, record meetings, etc.
