Our AGM will be happening on*Wednesday of Week 7*, at which each of the elected roles for the society will be re-elected. For clarification, these roles are:
* *President* - Ultimately in charge, responsible for event organisation and relations with sponsors. * *Secretary* - Interchangeable responsibilities with the president, and with re-registering the society with the Proctors each term. * *Treasurer* - Responsible for keeping track of the accounts, and producing summaries for each term.
Additional roles may be assigned at the discretion of the President/Secretary. Ultimately, the positions do not require a vast amount of time to be invested, but they *do* require good organisational skills. If you are interested in running for any of these roles, you have one more week to make up your mind!
Kind Regards,
Joe
