Snowsports Club: Vice President

The Snowsports of 2022 is very different to the one I joined back in 2017: it is more open, inclusive, and much less intimidating (or so I believe).  My aim, should I be elected VP, is to preserve this culture while helping to increase the size of the ski trip, and the number of social and competitive members, back up towards pre-pandemic levels.    

Having served on a Snowsports committee facing similar challenges (in 2018 we were also looking to increase trip numbers), I know how much effort it takes to work on the behind-the-scenes committee business alongside engaging with potential new members and trip-goers.

I plan to use the skills (especially organisational ones) that I have developed working and starting postgraduate study, alongside my 3 previous years on committee, to help set out, alongside the President and Treasurer, a clear timetable and checklist for the new year so that everything runs smoothly. 

I further aim to push for us to become more engaged with EDI and sustainability issues.  This could include collaborations with other clubs; a clearer reporting structure; using sustainable brands for merch; and greater involvement with union welfare training sessions (which should be promoted to everyone). 

Overall, I hope that my dedication to the club and previous experience on committee will allow me to efficiently support other members of committee and help put in place organisational structures that will benefit both this and future committee members.
