Election post
Growing up and being able to fully immerse myself in Punjabi culture has helped me find my identity and sense of purpose. It has made me the confident person I am today. That is what I hope to bring to our society if elected as Vice President. Our vibrant and diverse culture is one that should be celebrated and used to help others find their sense of identity. As Vice President, I would serve on the basis of wanting to get things done for everyone because at its core, our society should value the importance of inclusion.
Having been Head Girl at school, I have experience in leading a big team and communicating with leadership bodies similar to the Students Union. Moreover, it gave me experience in a range of areas such as charity work & fundraising, community development, PR, Logistics, and marketing.
In order to have a level of inclusivity, I would send out a form asking all members what they want to see from the committee and the society over the year to make sure that everyone's voice is heard. That way, the committee continues to serve the purpose of listening and reflecting on what its members want.
Genuine commitment, passion and experience are only a few of the skills I can bring to our society if elected as Vice President. Vote Maya to have a confident, well-run and inclusive Committee and society. Together, we can have a Punjabi society that not only honours our heritage but functions for you.
Thank you!
