Lacrosse Club: Treasurer

I am standing for Treasurer of the Lacrosse Society because I want to take on a leadership role that enables me to contribute to the society’s growth. Having captained both my school and club teams, I understand the importance of teamwork, organisation and reliability in helping a club run smoothly. 

My experience as Operations Manager at Young Enterprise has provided me with invaluable exposure to budgeting and working in a team to keep projects organised. Working closely with finance, marketing, and sales teams, I helped monitor costs and manage supply chains. This experience has strengthened my ability to work collaboratively while maintaining attention to financial detail. Furthermore, interning at a textile business exposed me to financial management, including organising invoices and observing cash flow. Alongside this, I’ve organised many fundraisers for a primary school in The Gambia which required initiative, planning and clear communication. 

As Treasurer, I recognise the responsibility that comes with managing members’ money and would ensure careful budgeting for kit, equipment and events, along with allocation of funds to maximise value for members. I am fully committed to supporting the team and would love the opportunity to contribute to the society’s growth next year. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Hi everyone, I’m Amaara, and as the self-appointed ultimate finance bro of UCL Lacrosse, it only feels right that I run for Treasurer!

Having once show an interviewer my personal expenses spreadsheet (complete with functioning macros and XLOOKUP) to secure an investment banking offer, I can guarantee I’ll bring the same elite-level organisation to our lacrosse expenses. 

Beyond obnoxious finance bro jokes, I take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness. As Treasurer, I will:

• Keep our finances clear and transparent so everyone knows exactly where their membership fees are going
• Budget properly for trips, stash, and socials so we never have last-minute financial stress
• Actively pursue sponsorships so we can keep costs manageable
• Make sure we spend strategically so lacrosse stays competitive, social and accessible

Having been 2s Captain this year, I understand the pop-up expenses and random chaos our teams face. As Treasurer, I’ll navigate unexpected expenses smoothly, while still protecting a FAT budget for the most pivotal, very serious lacrosse-related training event of the year: Laxmas.

Vote Amaara.
