Election post
Hi, I'm Maya and I'm applying to be your next Hindu Society General Secretary!
Hindu society has been an integral part of my first year university experience, giving me a strong sense of community, a deeper connection to my culture and the opportunity to build lasting friendships through events such as Welcome Mela, Hsoc families and Rangeela! Being an FYR has given me a real insight into the dedication and effort that goes into running the society. Seeing the committee's hard work was truly inspiring and has motivated me to take on the role of General Secretary to give back to this incredible society.
With experience as the chair of my school's community committee, I have successfully organised various events such as second-hand clothing sales and overseen year-long volunteering programs. This role has contributed to improving my leadership, organisation and teamwork skills - qualities that are essential for keeping Hindu society running smoothly.
As General Secretary, I will strive to ensure clear communication, efficient planning and seamless collaboration within the committee, especially when organising Rangeela. I aim to work to maintain the society's strong foundations whilst bringing in fresh ideas to enhance our events, communication and outreach. My goal is to work with the committee to create a space where everyone feels welcome, engaged and proud to be a part of this community and I truly hope that the role I play can help someone else have an experience like mine.
