Hello! It's time to start thinking about who's going to be on next year's council!
There are four positions up for grabs - Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian. The first three absolutely must be filled if MUJS is to continue to be an official university society. They are also required to be current students at the University of Manchester. It's really good fun though and totally worth it - you get to decide what social events we have and what anime goes up for voting, and helping to run a society always looks really good on your CV!
The chair is the head of the society, and heavily involved in all aspects of its running - arranging events, booking rooms, setting up the Welcome Week stall, and anything else that might need doing.
The secretary is in charge of communication between the council and the members, and also very involved in event planning. They are also officially supposed to take notes at council meetings, but I don't think we ever actually have those XD
The treasurer is in charge of the accounts, and makes sure we get any money we need from UMSU, and that we don't overbudget (not usually an issue).
The librarian deals with the MUJS library, lending books to members.
In practice, the majority of tasks are shared by all of the council. If you want to apply, fill out the form below. You'll also have to give a short speech at an end-of-year screening, when the voting will take place, but that won't be for a while so you've got plenty of time to work out what you're going to say to make us all vote for you! ;D
Code: [b]Name:[/b] (Your REAL name!)
[b]Position wanted:[/b]
[b]Manifesto:[/b] (Why do you want to be on the council, and why should we vote for you?)
Good luck, and let's hope we get loads of great applicants! :D |
