Article I - Name
Henceforth, the official title of this student organization shall be the Undergraduate
Composers Club.
The following names and acronym may be used when addressing the organization: UG
Composers, UG Composers Club, UGCC.
Article II - Purpose
This Undergraduate Composers Club exists to inspire a community of composers and
performers on the UC Berkeley campus. A community built upon the sharing of
compositions, of orchestrations, and above all the performance and demonstration of
students’ works by their peers. Though it began in the music department and was built
upon the idea of connecting music majors/minors to one another, it is not limited as
such. The Undergraduate Composers Club is open to all who wish to create, share, and
perform the music of their peers; and to do so without any limitation in regard to genre
or experience.
The election period occurs at the end of the spring semester or as needed during the
school year to replace a departing officer.
The standard length of an office term is one school year, which is defined by one fall and
one spring semester.
Duties, including that of serving as the primary contact, shall be fluid and determined
among the officers on a semester basis. All officers will serve as signatories.
Officers will be replaced or reelected at the end of their term. If officers are found to be
irresponsible or negligent in their duties during the course of the school year, they will
be removed by unanimous decision of the remaining members of the executive
committee, as well as 2/3 of the active, voting membership.
Article V - Meetings
The Undergraduate Composers Club will hold meetings once a week at a time based on
the availability of most active, non-active, associate, and intending members. This time
slot will be decided by the executive committee at the beginning of the academic
semester after surveying the availability of the individuals mentioned above.
At least one Officer or the President must be present at these meetings to validate
them. Otherwise, there is no quorum.
Special emergency meetings may be called by Officers or the President for reasons
pertaining to UGCC activities. Any and all special emergency meetings must be
confirmed by the President, even if he or she will not be present at the meeting.
Members will be notified via email or text message if such an event occurs.
All amendments, additions or deletions to this document must be filed with the LEAD Center in
