180 Degrees Consulting Society: Treasurer

I am applying for the Treasurer role at 180 Degrees Consulting because I bring a combination of financial awareness, organisation, and a proactive mindset that fits the responsibilities of managing the society’s finances. Through my academic background and practical experience, I understand the importance of budgeting, tracking expenditure, and ensuring funds are used efficiently to maximise impact. I would ensure the society’s finances are transparent, well-managed, and aligned with its strategic goals, allowing the team to focus on delivering high-quality consulting projects for our clients.

Beyond efficiently managing the accounts, I want to actively grow the society’s financial position. I will take a proactive approach to securing sponsorships from firms that align with the society’s mission, building relationships that can provide both funding and opportunities for members. I will also drive outreach and membership growth by ensuring we have a strong presence at major university events such as Freshers’ Fairs, where we can attract motivated students and significantly increase membership.

What I will bring as Treasurer:

• Careful budgeting and transparent financial management
• Active pursuit of sponsorships and partnerships with relevant firms
• Strong outreach to grow memberships, especially at major events like Freshers’ Fairs
• Organised tracking of income, expenses, and funding opportunities
• A proactive approach to strengthening the society’s financial sustainability

Hi! I'm Helen Meng from Population Health Sciences. I firmly believe I'll be a responsible and effective Treasurer of 180DC. Vote for me- I won't let you down!!

I had an amazing time as a student consultant on the Path of Hope project, and I want to give back by making sure the society stays flourishing for years to come.

As Treasurer, I'll manage the society's finances clearly and effectively. That means tracking and reporting revenue and expenses monthly, processing reimbursements quickly, and making sure members get value from their membership by tracking the impact of events. I'll also handle budgeting for socials, food, drinks, and marketing- and help identify the most impactful sponsorships we can pursue within our budget.

I've got the background to back this up. As VP of Med Access Network in high school, I managed budgets for hygiene workshops- splitting funds across locations, sponsorships, equipment, and printing, and tracking every dollar. I also had a US marketing internship where I negotiated MOQs and pricing with 100+ customers for an accessory manufacturer, so I'm comfortable with numbers and client relations. On top of that, I manage my own investment portfolio across ETFs and commodities, which has taught me how to research, track, and make informed financial decisions.

If elected, I'll be responsible, organized, and focused on making sure the team can flourish without worrying about finances- so we can keep delivering the best experience to our members.
