Election post
I’m Ayush and I’m running to be your MedSoc treasurer. This past year, a range of leadership and team-based roles have allowed me to develop my organisational and time-management skills. I have independently organised and managed a national surgical skills teaching series, for which I secured sponsorships to the value of over £1000. This involved liaising with various professional corporations, drafting legal contracts, account-keeping and maintaining customer directory. I therefore feel well-prepared to take on this role where I will exercise the above skills whilst providing an easy and convenient point of contact for all committee members and the SU. Having spoken to the current treasurer, I understand the commitment, proactivity and administrative effort required to not only make a success of the role, but to broaden the horizons of MedSoc's events.
As a current committee member, I have gained valuable insight into the operation and dealings of the society, which has allowed me to identify areas for development. As treasurer I am keen to:
- Maintain and develop our sponsorship portfolio by pursuing more sponsorship opportunities and emphasising the expanding breadth and reach of the events that MedSoc has to offer
- Improve utilisation of funds by holding regular discussions with subcommittee leads over how they can improve and expand their events, possibly pushing for inter-university collaboration
- Facilitate easy and prompt reimbursement and communication with SU
