Election post
Hi, my name is Minyoung, and I’m a third-year Biological Sciences student on the Computational Biology route.
I am currently serving as the interim Treasurer and am running for the official position this year. Having been a member of the Genetics Society since my first year, and with previous experience as a Treasurer for another society, I’m eager to continue supporting the society’s growth and activities.
So far, I’ve secured an additional £165 in SU grant funding to support transport for our speaker events and am working to obtain more. I’m also reaching out to potential sponsors for upcoming events, and have already secured one for the PhD & Pizza event, while supporting the committee and president in running events smoothly.
My goals are to strengthen financial stability, expand funding, and make events more engaging and accessible. I plan to apply for larger grants to fund speaker panels, workshops, and socials connecting undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers. I also aim to maintain a transparent budgeting system so all committee members can easily track spending and collaborate efficiently.
Above all, I’ll ensure our events remain inclusive, well-organised, and fun. Whether casual socials or academic discussions, I’ll make sure every event is financially supported and smoothly executed. As Treasurer, I’ll work closely with the president and committee to keep the Genetics Society a welcoming and inspiring community for everyone interested in genetics.
Thank you :)
