In for a Penny, In for a Pound

As Treasuer, my primary responsibility is to ensure that financial resources of KCL WMS are managed efficiently and effectively. This requires a proactive and strategic approach to financial management. To that end, I propose the following manifesto:

  1. Prioritise financial organisation: As the Treasurer, it is crucial that finances are well organised. This means I will commit to keeping accurate records of all transactions, creating regular financial reports, and making these reports available to all members of the society as and when required.

  2. Establish a realistic budget: Creating a budget is the cornerstone of financial management. As treasurer I will work with other members of the society to create a realistic budget that reflects the society's goals and objectives.

  3. Control expenses: Once I have established a budget, I will ensure that the society stays within its financial means through careful monitoring of expenses, and making sure that all expenditures are authorised and necessary.

  4. Seek out funding opportunities: I have keen plans to get in touch with potential companies for sponsorships and resources to further advance the society as well as ensuring we make the most out of any grants avaliable to the society.

  5. Collaborate with other members: Effective financial management requires collaboration with other members of the society. As Treasurer I will work closely with other committee members to ensure that financial decisions are aligned.

 

If elected as Treasurer, I will work tirelessly to uphold these principles and serve our members to the best of my ability. Having been Expedition Officer and helping organise our Summer Trip to Norway, I have first hand experience of being on committee, arranging activities and liasing with different organisations. Given my previous committee experience, being a part of the Training Course and wanting to pursue a career in Wilderness Medicine down the line, I will be dedicated and passionate in doing a good job.

 

I am organised, experienced and passionate about the society so vote for me as Treasuer!
