The secretary has two main roles:
[1] caring for the wellfare of the society, and
[2] a lot of administrative work.
I have two main aims which relate to these two roles.
1. Create a Close Community
To help maintain well-being, establishing a close community is important! Some ideas I have to help nuture closer relationships within the MSoc community include,
- pre-departure senior-junior pairing program: freshers to meet seniors that are doing studying the same courses
- may develop into a mentor-mentee system that will run througout the year
- get families more active
- more family-based events with a point system to encourage participation
- discord server!
- specific channels to find others with common interests
- encourages online communication
2. Ensure The Committee is Efficient and Productive
Ensuring that all internal administrative work is done properly will allow the committee as a whole to function more efficiently and productively, producing better events and projects! I plan to achieve this by,
- managing a digital platform (i.e. notion page) for the committee to track all the ongoing tasks and upcoming deadlines
- sending out meeting agendas prior to meetings to ensure everyone is up to date
- involving the sub-committee in the planning and execution of all projects and events
- collecting post-event feedback from members (via google forms, anonymously)
- ensuring all communications are responded to within 2 working days
