Hey everyone, I would like to think that you all know who I am by now, but if not, I’m your current President Willow!
With going onto a masters next year, I have decided to take a tiny step back and run for your secretary for the 2022/23 year. Having been your president this year I know how the team runs, as well as all the other roles on committee and also how we work within the university and union.
Due to my previous experience I feel I am able to complete all the main roles of secretary to the fullest, such as:
- Keeping on top of and completiting paperwork such as the development plan - As president this year I was the other person having to complete this paperwork, so I have already had the experience in doing it, what it's used for and how it is used within the Union.
- Writing up the minutes from the weekly message - I have years of experience with committee meetings, and this past year have been on the side of writing up the agenda and in some instances the minutes if it was a meeting that Hannah was unable to attend or it was a meeting only between a few of us and another team etc. so I know what is expected with these in terms of the layout and details for maximum efficiency.
I also believe I would be the best for this role because:
- Having someone in this role that has been on the committee previously it will allow for the smoothest running year ahead and I know I would be able to assist the future president best.
- Not only have I been on committee for 2 years, I will be going into my 4th year on the team so I have the experience of how the dance team has been run over the years and how things have progressed or perhaps worked better previously, so we can continue to make changes that will better the team moving forward.
- I feel I have the skills to excell in this role such as time management and organisation etc. so will be able to keep ontop of everything such as emails with the union and room bookings, keeping on top of the weekly message and being an active and communicative member of the committee.
Hopefully you have enjoyed my time as president and will allow me to continue being an active member of the Dance Team committee as your new secretary!
