<hr />
<div>The Speaker of the Engineering Society is responsible for running all meetings of the Board of Directors and Engineering Society Council. Until 2011, the Speaker was an Internal Director, elected annually at the Joint Council Meeting. After the creation of the Board of Directors in 2011, the Speaker ceased to be an internal director and simply became an appointee of the Board of Directors. The term Chairman of the Board was then used interchangeably with Speaker to refer to this position. Prior to 2011, the Speaker held a tie-breaking vote on questions before the Council; post-2011 the Speaker has no vote on questions before the Board unless otherwise elected to represent their constituency.<br />
<br />
==Role in Governance==<br />
Although never formalized in the Bylaws, tradition holds that the Speaker should follow the Westminster parliamentary tradition of being unbiased on all questions before the parliamentary body, and never speak in debate. 2011-2012 Speaker Rishi Maharaj broke with this tradition by regularly offering his opinion on matters of governance during and outside meetings of the Board. However, Maharaj never spoke for or against the question before the Board. Through 2011-2012, efforts were made to model the Speaker's role more closely after that of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, that is, someone who leads and guides the direction of the Board while being independent of the Officers.<br />
<br />
2012-2013 Speaker Mauricio Curbelo completed the transition from a neutral Westminster-style Speaker to the American-style Speaker as a full member of the body (though non-voting) by routinely participating in debate and occasionally speaking to the main question. Amendments to the Elections Bylaw in 2012 gave the Speaker a permanent seat on the Election Rules Committee and a reserve seat on the Election Appeals Committee, further cementing their role as a senior member of the Society.<br />
<br />
The addition of section 5.10.8 to Bylaw 1 in 2012 granted the Speaker the authority to bar Board members from voting on questions where they had a conflict of interest. This section was instituted in response to the refusal of 2011-2012 Board members Wayne Lin, Amanda Bell, and Nicole Tavares to abstain from voting on the question of holding a referendum to institute a designated fee portion for Skule Nite (of which they were prominent members). Further Bylaw 1 amendments granted the Speaker similar authority to that of the President to call emergency meetings, in an effort to balance the authority of the executive to control access to the democratic process of general meetings.<br />

<hr />
<div>Suds is the pub operated by the Engineering Society. Affectionately known as the 'Engineering Pre-Pub Pub', Suds is open every Friday afternoon during the Skule™ year and every day during [[F!rosh Week]] and [[Godiva Week]]. Suds is part of what makes Skule™ unique as it is the last undergraduate student-run bar at the University of Toronto. But that's all that should be mentioned here, as advertising online is not permitted by its licensing body, so if you have questions please e-mail the managers of Suds at suds@skule.ca.<br />
==History==<br />
First formerly called the "Sandford Fleming Pub", then the "Duke of Skule" for a short period, the name "Suds" was first used in 1984 and has persisted to this day. Although sometimes written in all-caps, "Suds" is not an acronym. <br />
<br />
Suds operates under the auspices of Campus Beverage Services (CBS) and all Suds managers and servers are required to undergo training through Smart Serve and the CBS Server Training Program.<br />
==Past Suds Managers==<br />
After 2003, the Suds Manager positions were turned into Suds Operations Manager and Suds Finance Manager.<br />
