ASI Student Government members are elected or appointed to serve as representatives and advocates for the Cal Poly student body. The corporate responsibilities of Student Government members are defined within the ASI Bylaws. This responsibility guide provides an overview of the key duties and expectations for the ASI Maritime Academy Council (AMAC). Specific responsibilities and levels of involvement may vary throughout the term of office.
ASI Maritime Academy Council (AMAC)
The AMAC is a recommending body established under the ASI Board of Directors to represent, serve, and address the needs of students at Cal Poly Solano. AMAC members support student advocacy efforts across the Cal Poly Maritime Academy campus, provide recommendations to the ASI Board of Directors, and help advance student-focused initiatives, programs, and outreach.
AMAC members hold an active and engaged role within ASI and the Cal Poly Maritime Academy community. This position requires a weekly time commitment of approximately 5-10 hours, which may include occasional evenings and weekends. Summer involvement is not required; however, AMAC members will be provided with asynchronous training and engagement opportunities during the summer term.
Qualifications for Office
During their term of office, members of the AMAC must maintain compliance with all CSU and ASI requirements as outlined in the ASI Bylaws. Per the CSU Qualifications Student Office Holders Policy, students must have completed at least one term at Cal Poly with at least a 2.0 CPSLO GPA. Incoming, first-year students are not eligible.
Requirements
Members of the ASI Maritime Academy Council are considered mandated reporters under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and are required to comply with the requirements set forth in ASI Policy as a condition of their volunteer assignment.
It is a conflict of interest for ASI to employ members of ASI Student Government and require those individuals to have the responsibility of governing and making decisions regarding the organization by which they are employed. Because of this conflict, it is necessary to separate the roles by not allowing a student to simultaneously hold a position in ASI Student Government and be employed by ASI.
The ordinary term of office for ASI Student Government members shall be one year, commencing on the day after the close of spring term and ending on the last day of the following spring term.
General Responsibilities of AMAC Members
  • Represent and advocate for the needs, interests, and perspectives of Cal Poly Maritime Academy students.
  • Communicate regularly with students to gather feedback and identify emerging issues.
  • Collaborate with ASI, campus partners, and community stakeholders to support student-centered initiatives.
  • Support and participate in ASI and AMAC events, outreach, and engagement efforts.
  • Contribute to community-building efforts on and off the Solano campus.
  • Attend and actively participate in all AMAC meetings and trainings.
  • Participate in assessment, planning, and goal-setting efforts for AMAC and ASI.
  • Fulfill additional responsibilities as assigned by the Chair of the AMAC.
Committee Responsibilities
  • Serve on ASI internal Standing and ad hoc committees as recommended by the Chair of the AMAC and appointed by the Chair of the ASI Board of Directors.
  • Serve on university wide and/or Academic Senate committees as appointed by the ASI President.
Summary of Typical Involvement
  • Weekly AMAC meetings
  • Meetings with the AMAC Chair as needed
  • Standing and ad hoc committee meetings as appointed
  • ASI workshops and training sessions
  • AMAC and ASI outreach or engagement activities throughout the term

Benefits
Professional development/mentoring to the AMAC will be provided by the ASI Executive Director or designee. As a mentor, the ASI Executive Director or designee will provide constructive feedback and guidance on a regular basis to assist the AMAC members in their personal and professional development.
The AMAC receives priority registration and ASI vehicle privileges, if eligible.
Please note, despite the language below prompting you to apply for this job, this is a volunteer position.
