Election post
Having thoroughly enjoyed my role as Executive this year, I’m standing for VP of Client Relations to build on the sponsor relationships we’ve brokered.
Through my keen interest in finance and roles in UCLWINF and Marshall Finance Group, I’ve strengthened my leadership, communication, and collaboration skills – essential for brokering and managing sponsorships. Building on this, my equity financing internship, where I engaged with potential investors, further developed my ability to navigate stakeholder relationships and secure partnerships. Combined with my experience in Client Relations, I’ve gained valuable insight into how to strengthen our sponsorship strategy next year.
As VP of Client Relations, I want to implement the following 3 initiatives:
- Sponsorship Networking Events:
Dedicated opportunities for past and present sponsors to connect with UCLIS and each other through a combined sponsor networking event, strengthening foundations for long-term relationships.
- More Personalized Sponsor Engagement:
Tailored sponsorship updates showcasing ROI (e.g., event metrics, attendee feedback) to improve sponsor retention.
- Stronger Handover Process for Long-Term Client Relations:
A structured handover document detailing key client interactions, preferences, and past deal details.
These initiatives will create a longer-term focused Client Relations team, improving sponsor retention.
I’m excited to build on our progress and strengthen UCLIS’ presence in the finance community.
