Geemini Hewamana

It has now been three years since I have been involved with Sri Lankan society- as both a member and on the committee- and I have loved every minute of it.

I have decided to run for Events Officer to gain experience having a different role within the society and as I will enjoy bringing new event ideas to life.

If elected, I would encourage future events such as:

• More intersociety events- sharing our culture through fun events similar to the ladies cultural night where we collaborated with the Afghan, Kurdish and Indian societies
• Organising more catered events- listening to society feedback to have more events in line with member preferences
• Bigger events- starting our own signature event that we can invite other universities to and planning more big society trips

I hope to use the experiences I have gained being on this year’s committee to be a valuable member of next years committee so we can keep celebrating what it means to be Sri Lankan!
