Election post
Hi, my name is Yahia, and I’m running to be Treasurer of the Somali Society. I bring a solid administrative background, where I’ve managed budgets, organised records, and supported team operations, skills that are directly transferable to this role. I understand the importance of staying organised, being transparent, and ensuring every penny will be used wisely to benefit our members.
Beyond my admin experience, I’m passionate about building creative, inclusive spaces where Somali students can connect, express themselves, and celebrate our culture. Whether hosting game and film nights, supporting a charity or Eid events, I want to ensure our society has the financial means to support vibrant, meaningful activities throughout the year. I also have hands-on experience fundraising for charities, which has taught me how to engage communities, apply for grants, and generate support beyond membership fees.
If elected, I’ll focus on smart budgeting, fundraising, and clear communication so we can grow our society confidently. I’m committed to making every financial decision with integrity, transparency, and care. I would appreciate your support for Treasurer, and let’s build a more welcoming space together.
