Having held committee positions throughout my life, I possess the organisational skills and experience required to work with others and ensure the smooth running of events: I am good with data and technology, keep three calendars, and am incredibly fussy about perfection. Though I haven't been with the society long, I've enjoyed the events and have a few ideas:

Firstly, I think it would be good to compile a list of all available gig opportunities in London into a google sheet and broadcast the link over social media and in the Whatsapp groups, updating regularly, for convenience.

Secondly, I hope to seek more collaboration opportunities with London societies, charities, and especially music schools so we gain access to instruments, teaching, and larger music rooms.

Thirdly, I hope to organise themed jams to prevent overcrowding, and for people to submit song requests/vote for them online before the jam.

Finally, I wish to increase inclusivity by organising:

a) beginner-friendly music events and classes, which can be led by teachers or members of the live music society and

b) workshops that span outside instruments, like singing or songwriting

Overall, I hope to promote existing talents throughout London and organise events for students who may may be nervous about performing for the first time. I believe my experience, organisational skills, anxiety make me an ideal candidate for the role, and hope that you like my ideas and will vote for me :)
